By experience, please enlighten me as to the exact suppliments/ bug food you use for the ideal deep orange bellies for your Fire bellied toads
I am feeding my mealies, and crickets carrots, but i assume there is inssufficient pigment from carrots fed to the food alone?
When i kept them years ago, i struggled to find out exactly but settled for feeding my livefood bloodworms every so often, i was young so not sure if i did it enough. Never saw the red bellies my newly aquired adults are sporting on the originals.

I feed my mealies and crickets that are fed on pro grub, and they all have bright orange bellies and always have done.

I have only heard about feeding carrot, would be interested to see what else is meant to help.

How did you feed the bloodworm?
