Default live food.

I recently got some toads, and have to feed them livefood. Should I put some food in my livefood tubs to keep them alive longer?
I have fruit flies and mini crickets..

thanks, Emma

my fruit fly cultures seem to thrive best givin them banana, i cut the banana up leave the skin on n cut a little slit in the skin and peel it back just a little, they love layin under them bits, the mankier the better for fruit flies so i let the banana go a bit brown.

crickets can be fed on veg or you can actually buy powdered food to feed them that has all the vits etc in it
