I didnt know you should dust and feed them everyday when they r young. Im not sure how old my gal is but Im guessing a year-ish. Shes about the size of a toonie and from what Ive read American Toads grow to be about 3-4 inch long. I usually feed her once every other day but Im gonna change that to once a day and dust every other day. I plan to pick up a multi vitamin next weekend and add that to the routation. What would be a good feeding schedule for a young toad? (is when to dust, what to feed, etc)

Im looking forward to the summer time when shes not hibernating anymore, havent seen her since it got cold outside

I dunno what a toonie is, but banjo was 1.25in i think and now 3.5in. They grow fast. Ukulele (my adopted love) came to me about 4in and is at least 5yrs old. A boy toad won't grow as large.
Offer food but remember that she might not be interested when it's cold. You could try warming the room, or just let it be since it's normal. Banjo didn't hibernate last year, and this will be my 1st winter with Uki, so curious what they'll do. We also moved so they're in the basement (not a creepy basement, and water heater keeps it from getting too cold). They are such chubs, i think they could survive all winter burrowed. But i'd miss them too.

A toonie is a 2 dollar coin in Canada
I named her Ms Piggy and she does eat, I put her in a container with 2 crickets and they were gone before I had a chance to turn around lol
Id say that she is about an inch or so long, Ive noticed that she has gotten much chubbier since ive had her and Im wried about over feeding although I dont think I am
Ive been leaving her be as much as possible so she can get used to her new surroundings

A fat toad, is a happy toad.

A fat toad, is a happy toad.

I certainly hope so! I know a fat bellied toad makes me happy.
If she's an inch, feed away. It's great that she's comfortable enough to have an appetite. These days most feedings are monitored since they're worms or fed from the tongs, and except for wax worms, I go til they sit there blinking and swallowing rather than eyeing the food. Tho over the summer they both seemed like they'd be willing to eat 3x their body weight.
