Hi-- Our wee metamorph (3 days on land) is doing very well, but I have a couple of questions.
* Is it possible to overfeed him? I've been putting pieces of earthworm in, and he has definitely eaten a big piece, and I think some of the rest. I've also put a couple of 1/2 inch crickets in every day, and those are all gone as well. This seems like a lot for his small belly (he is about 2" long), and I don't want to 'splode him...
* I'm setting up a larger tank for him to live in long term, and brought home some mossy wood from the woods today. It is very punky wood, from an old, old downed tree (prolly a maple), but I want to be sure that there is nothing in the moss or the wood that could harm him, since he was raised inside and perhaps doesn't have natural protection against outdoor ickies. Any ideas? I know these woods aren't ever sprayed with chemicals.
Thanks so much-- I appreciate all of the help I can get here.
