We fed undersize two year old Wyoming toads to
satiation with crickets and
excess reptivite vitamin and mineral powder.
Squamous metaplasia ‘cured’?
Hypervitaminosis?
The increase in weight, length, and
condition index of B. baxteri over 100 days
We are now comparing
crickets with Ca/D, crickets with reptivite, and enriched crickets with
Ca/D on the growth and survival of juveniles.
Preliminary
studies of dietary enrichment and size grading of Wyoming toads (Bufo baxteri) to reduce the incidence of squamous metaplasia of the
tongue.
