Cane Toad care

[toadstillcane]

[QUOTE=Gnag the nameless;168340]Perhaps, but top soil is the most natural. No matter if it is "itty and gritty", it may be the best option. I've always repeated that whatever is best for the frog/toad, go for it. Sure, it compacts, and perhaps it is hard to burrow in, but in the wild, Cane toads are used to such substrate. And in fact, they thrive in it. Coconut fiber may be easier to burrow in, but it is not as natural. That's all I'm trying to say.

I never suggested feeding bullfrogs mice, and I don't do that with my own bullfrog. And yes, it is unhealthy for bullfrogs to regularly eat mice.

I never mentioned dog food in my earlier post, and if I recall correctly, neither did Demon Amphibians.

My argument is indeed on the side of moderation. Feeding rodents in moderation or as a supplement is fine. However, I too disagree with feeding them as the staple diet.

I never said mice were the perfect food, neither the perfect supplementary food.

For Cane toads, yes, it is good to have a variety of W/C insects to feed them. I completely agree with you there. I've always wished that there were more feeder insects open in the market, giving frog owners the choice of a bigger variety in their frog/toads diet.

I second you on that, overfeeding any animal is bad for the animal.

Please refrain from being rude, I'd rather keep this as a debate, not an argument.

All I'm saying is that it is not necessarily bad to feed Cane toads mice in a variety such as Demon Amphibians has stated, and that it will not kill the frog. It may be unhealthy if they are fed as the staple, yes, but as a supplementary food, they may
Phoenix Worms are great for frogs and toad's and they Can be given as a more staple diet also l Use earth worms Sorry if you thought I was being rude didn't Mean to

Yes you can give them slugs but if you have dogs I wouldn't mess about with them due to fact that slugs carry lung worm im surprised at how the people in hete didn't answer you but there to busy with having a pop at me yes all types of wild insects can be given to the cane toad but again with slugs id be careful as humans can catch lung worm but its the dog thats got to be careful as its deadly to dogs snails I anit sure about just Google search it I'll do it yes snail's to are deadly to cats as well but if you dont have a cat an dog go ahead an catch some your toads will love you
