American toad question

[Deku]

Sorry man, I'm not in the US right now, we've moved to Jordan. We may come back though, I'll update you if I can get some for you

where is that? anyway how much is a vet visit for 6 toads? and for de-parasiting them ?

[Deku]

also my sibling bought me a bufo viridis 10 years ago.. was shy and died within a week. are they normally shy and frail or was it the store?

[Deku]

Jordan is a country in the Middle east, it's right next to Israel. I don't know, it depends on the vet, some are decent and some are really expensive

Petstore, most Bufo species are very hardy in captivity, it's the same way newts are sick and typically die after being purchased from a petstore

I doubt you're going to find California toads, they are never offered for sale, you'd have to PM someone who lives in their range to collect some for you

You could browse reviews and PM other members about it, but I honestly don't really know

I know, it would be better if it wasn't so stressful on the animals, they get exported from where they live, shipped a long distance, kept either in a petstore, or kept in a dealer, which means they could be forced to be shipped again, to a petstore or owner, and before they get to the owner, they're forced to live in inadequate conditions, many of which don't survive to make it to that or the owner

Members such as Strider18, AdvythAF, or PM other members on our sister forum Caudata.org. What about the Western Green Toad? They're small, but they're native, and good captives. Here's some links to them: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.p...122&de=1121179

i wanted something that can max out at 5inches. i like really warty toads. not the smooth ones

Seriously I'd skip the vet visit. It's additional stress for the toad and most likely money wasted. The people on this forum know more about toads than most vets do. If you're really worried about intestinal worms Google Panacur® Then search for a site that can tell you the proper dosage.

i just wanted to get them treated for all parasites. not very sure how to do it either.. im not confident enough to give meds to them......wish i could just get them parasite free...ps. might go for cane toads
