I know what your saying. And yes a variety is the best especially for cane toads. Now crickets are nothing compared to roaches when it comes to nutrition. Worms such as earth worms are more rich in nutrition then roaches are also good for frogs and toads alike. But cane toads specifically love them if they can get them in there mouths they are so slimy that there long tongues cant grasp. Now frogs will lung and bite them which makes it easier for them to eat them. Mice can cause impaction because of there fur. and crickets can also cause this with there indigestible chitin. For my frogs they do not get crickets. I only give them to my cane toads because i want them to have a variety. Now there is no harm in giving your frogs mice as a treat or a supplement. I am sure any of the mods on here will agree. It is when people staple their phibs on them is when they start having problems. I would never staple my frogs or toads on mice. But i do supplement because every species i have are very large and in small quantities it is perfectly healthy. Now when i see a fat frog being fed mice i find it outright sickening because there are many people out there get entertainment out of it.

Now coco fiber is a great bedding i am not down sizing it. I keep my ABF's and American bullfrogs in it and for my frogs it is the best stuff out there. they love it. Now Cane toads require a different environment than frogs. cane toads are a much dryer climate species. Now coco fiber will work for them, what i am saying is that they prefer a rocky substrate over it. And unlike frogs it is safer for the cane toad because they have much better coordination when it comes to getting what they want in there mouths so there is much lesser chance of them eating the rocks and getting impaction.

Now calling people a fool and such is not an appropriate response to someone you disagree with. I mean none of us regardless of how long we have kept frogs and pets can consider our selves experts in the area. I mean we may have a certain level of knowledge but not all species are the same. And i do agree Americans have an attitude but i have traveled to well over 40 different countries all around the world in my life and trust the attitude is found in all of them. except japan. japan is the friendliest country i have ever experienced. lol. So if we can, lets not point fingers and try to learn something from one another.
