My Baby American Toad Pictures & Updates !!!!!!!!!!!

[ShadowFrogs]

Im thinking about changing the way I feed my gal. Right now Ive been adding the food to her tank and leaving it be, and basically not being able to find it in the morning means she ate it. Well until the other day when I found a worm burried in the soil. Im thinking about placing her in a container and adding food, that way I know she ate. How does everyone feed their toads? Any ideas or suggestions on best practices?

I do that too and recently my two guys started not eating as much as they've done before. As they're from the wild, it seems they've been tricked by the days becoming shorter and have been on their way to hibernation and just slowed their metabolism.

So far I've taken them out on the bed or the table or my lap, to feed earth worms or the eventuel wax moth worm. But mostly I just leave crickets in their tanks. When they started feeding less, I got worried and tried putting them in a white, plastic washing-up bowl (or whatever it's called in english ) and leave critters and naked snails there. However they freaked out and just concentrated on trying to get out of it, so I gave it up. Now I still leave crickets for them and when they dissappear, I know they've been eaten. Will go over to artificial plants, because the "left overs" chew the plants.


I heard some guy feeding his Cane Toads with home made, small sausages?

Depends on the feeder. Some crawly bugs you can leave in the right dish, but worms I put on a plastic plate and watch. If you have more then one toad, good to make sure everyone gets fed, particularly if one is a more aggressive eater. I feed wax worms from tongs. I try to keep the substrate ingestion to a minimum, but it happens anyway.
taking them out to feed usually stresses too much. If they decline food in tank, just try again later.
