Bufo Americanus : Cannot eat earthworm

[Duriel]

She normally eats roaches. She can eat almost as many as my baby bearded dragon

My toads can't eat earthworms either. The more they try the more slime the worms secrete in defense and I end up with a bowl full of slime. Quite nasty! I just don't try anymore. I feed them roaches, crickets and freshly molted mealworms every feeding. Makes it easier that I breed all my feeders. I like giving them a varied diet. They like silkworms too but I don't breed those and they aren't really cheap.

I explained this in my Rocco thread as well, but in case you didnt see it the flat worm rock could be the answer.



They should be able to pick it off the rock directly with ease, but if not dangle it slightly off. This rock is elevated by about an inch by digging a little cave under the botton half. Its worth trying. Worms are great for amphibs.

Toads will eat them, and yes they'll struggle for quite some time to try to eat them. Sooner or later every single toad I had has learned to not rely so much on their tounge and go in close with their beak. It might take a bunch of feedings though without any luck.
