I've had my adult western toad for about 4 months now. The past 3ish weeks he hasn't been eating very much and he's losing weight. I don't think that he's deadly think but he defiantly isn't as plump...
Hey my reply is a little late but I have a couple Columbian Spotted Frogs and thought I would chime in. Your set up sounds totally fine to me. These frogs are fairly aquatic and are excellent...
you may have to try and order some crickets and breed the yourself then :( My Western Toad also loves to eat earthworms. I think some species of toads and frogs really enjoy eating worms and they...
I was feeding my toad nightcrawlers tonight. I use EcoEarth in his tank but I usually lay out a damp paper towel as a "place mat" because the worms are sticky and get covered in EcoEarth and I don't...
Not sure exactly how much this will relate to amphibians but I recently got in a fairly heated discussion on a garter snake forum concerning feeding fish to garter snakes. It's a common practice in...
Okay good point, I never thought of the fact that a wild toad might react differently. He is not longer going through any growth spurts so I'll assume he's getting some nutrition from the crickets...
I have a Western Toad (Bufo boreas) who is about 4 inches long. When I first caught him he made a chirping noise that sounded just like a dog's squeak toy. Sometimes during the night he makes a short...
I have thought of another feeding question to ask you guys, so I though I would tack it onto the last one and hopefully someone will take a look and maybe have an answer :)
I have had my toad...
I love tomato frogs, they are so pretty. Some day I will have to get one or two of them. Good luck with your new buddies! Hope the chubby frog gets settled in soon so you can get some pictures!
Thanks so much!! ^^
Awesome! I don't think I can culture any sort of food for my toad because my family hardly tolerates having a few dozen crickets in the house :( meal worms are nice because they just sit inside a...
Thanks! Reading back through my original post I hope I haven't come off sounding rude at all. In truth I haven't had this particular toad for all that long but I have had previous toads of the same...
I have an adult Western Toad who is about 4 inches. I don't have access to roaches locally and I am not willing to breed them myself as my family would have a major fit. He's eating large crickets,...
For reference, I expanded roughly half a brick of EcoEarth and it was able to create a layer of about 2 inch deep substrate that totally covered the floor of my 10 gallon aquarium. For a 12x12 inch...
I haven't heard of springum moss before. Any chance is was sphagnum moss? From my understanding the main risk with using moss is impaction if the animal accidentally swallows some substrate along...
Okay thanks so much!

This is my young Colombian Spotted Frog! (:
Thanks everyone! And thanks David, I will do that. I had no idea there was a "photo of the week." Looks like I need to spend some time exploring around the site a little more.
Okay that sounds good. I wasn't sure exactly how dry or damp Western Toads like their environment to be but I'll pick up some Eco Earth Coconut Fiber and maybe I should leave the substrate dry but...
Weird! My toad is pretty big and fat so the first thing I thought of when I was trying to name him was Nevil's toad Trevor from Harry Potter. Haha
Update: He ate two more nightcrawlers tonight from tongs. I made sure he didn't get any moss in his mouth. Should I try to offer him some more worms if he's willing to eat them? This is the first...
I think creatures that live in tanks generally enjoy to have as much cover/hiding spots as possible. It will probably reduce some stress that might be caused by having too much wide open space. You...
I think Jabba the Hutt is a pretty common name for frogs/toads, so I'm liking "The Frog formaly known as prince" Very original! He's a very handsome boy (:
Hello! I have a new adult Western Toad named Trevor. He is in a 10g aquarium with damp sphagnum moss, a water dish, a clay pot hide, and some rocks and plastic plant leaves. I've only had him about a...
