I would try earthworm, cut up into smaller pieces. Maybe like 4 pieces

Cheers, so far iv been trying him on whole, tiny earthworms and nothing... maybe they will smell more appetizing cut up though...worth a try!

my Eastern American Toad wouldnt eat full size nightcrawlers unless i cut them up, then he pigged out, they squirm alot more when cut up so i guess it looks a bit more appetizing. But now he has eaten 2 full sizers this week. Goodluck

Thanks, last night in the early hours i gave him some crickets, which he ate two of still going to be an uphill struggle I think, but its a good start.

Have you tried the live bloodworms yet? I am curious to see if that works

I did try them, also put some daphnia in too which he had a try at eating...but the water meant that his tongue couldnt stick to them properly. So maybe if they were tried on a dry surface they might work, but they didnt for me. I wouldnt rule them out in the future though, especially for frogs and such, just not so much toads
