    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

We are feeding our Bufo Alvarius Toads Dubia Roaches for our first time and we are not sure how exactly to do it. We were thinking about just throwing them in their home like we do crickets. Would that be a good idea? Also, any tips on keeping the roaches healthy so they will live long and be good food for our toads to eat? :)
 
Dubia can and will burrow intot he substrate. Put them in a small plastic bowl and bury it enough so the toads can see wassup. Being non-climbers, they will not be able to escape; and you get the added benfit of quickly and easily knowing how much food was consumed. You can even try hand feeding if you like, but that can be a waste of time in anurans (though caudates take readily to it). As for roach maintanence--easy--keep them warm (like mid eighties), hydrated (fruits or water crystals, I use fruits); and keep them fed and they will do great. I clean the bin once a month, and pretty soon feel like I will have surplus roaches; as they breed like crazy.
