Awesome find!! What a jewel!

I don't have enough specific data on genetics to help out with that at all, however feeding wise, as far as I'm aware, you can feed mealworms once in a while, just not as a base food/stable food, because yes, they can cause impaction.

However, before I was aware of anything like this, when I found my two bufo bufos, they were only fed meal worms for about a month, because finding critters in the garden were not always succesfull. They were completely fine and grew very well. They're still very fine, but now only get meal worms every few times a month, as a snack. Otherwise I feed them tiger worms (and yes, they are able to eat the earthworms, although they're large and it's a little tricky for them, but they love it).

Besides that, crickets are a very good food source and gut-feeding them (you can also use fish flakes with minerals) is an easy way to ensure the toad gets its vitamins!

Good luck with everything.
