Read this article to make sure you're doing things correctly for this toad. Amphibian Care >> American Toad (Bufo americanus) Care Important things are water source, supplements & feeder bugs. I would stay away from slugs since they tend to carry parasites. Also I wouldn't just dump a bunch of crickets in the tank since crickets will bit your toad if there is not food available for them. Best way to feed is by using a dish or tongs. Again, read the care-sheet.
