New Pet "Frog"

[BowtieZR5]

Wednesday morning I found a small "frog" in my garage. I decided that since my wife and daughter are about to get a new puppy, my son and I would get a new pet as well. After some research (he/she is a toad) and an $80 trip to the local big name pet store, I had about 2 dozen pinhead crickets, 10 gallon terarium, water dish, 60w daylight bulb and some coconut bark. The first few hours in his new home he burrowed and we didn't see him until the night. I tossed in two pinheads before leaving for work (I work overnight). When I got home I saw no pinheads and a small grey "poop." I have continued to give "Cowboy" (all our pets are Sports teams: Maverick, Starr, Ranger) 2-3 pinheads in the morning when I get home from work.

A couple of questions I have:
I haven't found any more BMs from Cowboy. Do toads poop everyday or is there something wrong?
Are the 2-3 pinheads I feed him every morning enough or should I be feeding him more? What about adding meal worms to his diet?

Hello and welcome to FF! What is toad length from snout to vent (SVL)? Normally you want to feed crickets that are sized same as distance between frog's eyes. Feed all frog will eat to satiation or during a 15 minute period. Crickets placed on a glass dish or bowl won't escape and make it easier to monitor feeding. Dust all food 2X with calcium/D3 and 1X with vitamins weekly on different days with skip day in between. Can also feed cut-up and later full sized night crawlers (Walmart's sports section).

The right substrate coco is the shredded fiber (Plantation Soil or EcoEarth), not the bark one (can cause impaction). Use dechlorinated water for mixing to slight damp (clumps in fist but no water comes out). Lot's more info here: Frog Forum - Toad Basics - Keeping ground-dwelling Toads. A care sheet for Bufo, Anaxyrus, Spea, Scaphiopus, Ollotis, Alytes, Pelobates and good luck !.

Cowboy daily eats the 3-4 frogs I toss in within 5-10 minutes. Some of the small crickets I bought at Petsmart have grown to larger this his eyes. I have not fed those to him but have kept them to keep the cycle going. They are multiplying about half as much as I feed him. I feed the crickets Flucker's High-Calcium Cricket Diet and Flucker's Cricket Quencher Calcium Fortified. The substrate I used is the Eco-Earth compressed fiber. I have been using Ozarka's bottled water (is that ok?) for misting and drinking pool. I do want to add some plants or something to the décor. It looks like plain in there with just a pool and that's it. Am I doing everything right? Feel free to ask me questions to make sure I am doing everything right.

What is toad length from snout to vent (SVL)?

What is the VENT?? I assume it's "tail". I would guestimate about 1.25" +/- .25". I'll post some photos later today.

I said I had a 10 gallon terrarium. I was wrong. It is a 5.5 gallon. When he gets bigger I will get a larger terrarium.

What kind of toad is he/she? 1.125-1.25" Snout to Vent
