    This is unusual as fire bellied toads eat fruit flies. However fruit flies are not good for your help, especialy alive. If there are fruit flies then their will be eggs. The flies may be attracted to yout toads food. However if there are many than you should try to get rid of them. But by nature your toad should be eating them. Maybe clean out the tack more often with non toxic disenfectant. Fruit flies are attracted by fruit hence their name so the best way is to keep fruit away from the tank.

    Sorry if i wasn't much help!

    Take a look at the URL it may be usefull.

    Your are feeding him eggs of fruit fly in his food when they get wet they hatch out . your over feeding the poor little horned toad.

    try to stay on just the facts. not what you want to believe just because you may be a 90% tor a ninety presenter.

    FACT #1 toxoplasmosis can only reproduce sexually in the intestines of a cat which is its only definitive host . That statement right there means this “without cats it cannot reproduce or regenerate itself” Therefore in a world without cats! There would be no toxoplasmosis infections causing birth defects. 10% good or 90% bad.

    Fact #2 --- There is no cure for the Brain infection; there is nothing so far that can kill this parasite in the Brain with out killing the infected person brain.

    FACT #3--- The government knows this the government infected 1000 pregnant women without their knowledge then the CDC keeps the records of these and study them through pregnancy to death and then study their babies from conception to death.

    Fact #4 less than 10% of these babies displayed superior mental awareness. This is what the government is after (the few with superior mental awareness)

    (< 100 out of 1000)

    Fact #5 the other 90% are crazy as a mongoose and very in degree of anti-social and mental disorders. (< 900 out of 1000)

    Fact #6---mumps, measles, encephalitis, chicken pox, and the shingles are a form of toxoplasmosis infections.

    Fact #7 what is it you don't understand please? Poster states get the cats tested and treated. If the infection cannot be cured have them put down, If it is true what you say your cat has nothing to worry about right. That is what you said. That your cats don't have it? However, for 25dollars we can find out.

    Fact #8---- This testing of pets is just to protect the children, the babies who cant protect them selves.

    Fact #9 ---- Toxoplasmosis is the most common parasite on the planet due to the fact that there is cat poop everywhere people let their CATS roam all over no leash. They poop in box get it on their feet track it on table tops and counters; they lick their butt, then lick their fur then lick their feet. they have a gay time of it.

    Fact #10 –OOcyst the passing stage last six month in feces--Toxoplasmosis can live for 18 months out side of the cats stomach on surfaces. Soap and water bleach does not kill toxoplasmosis, much like cryptosporidium. It builds a protective around itself.

    You are correct I would say and I wish to apologize to the 90 % I realize they may be infected and have problems comprehending scientific reports and the such. Which is what the government wants out of the 90% presenters. Which Presenters means to display or present for viewing. I myself have tested positive for Toxoplasmosis so I am in complete agreement with the poster of this query.

    Fruit flies are attracted to almost any organic matter- dead feeder insects, frog feces, etc.

    You need to keep their enclosure clean.
