Cane toad?

Those are nice toads, but as far as I know, no one breeds them. Sorry. What kind of green toad are we talking about? Eurasian or western?

Euro. Umm I saw some online sites that says they sell them. Is it bad if I took some from the wild?

If you are only taking a few its no big deal. In Massachusetts we are only allowed to take two from the wild.

"cough" Send me a nicely tempered sex pair? xD Cause I cant find any where I live. I want them to be young. Like 2inches. So I can atleast know for sure they are around 1-2 years old at most and can live with me for 8-12more years. xD

I just wanna get them "disease free". Do I have to take them to the vet if I get em wild caught? Also. In a canadian forum I read that you can use soil, leaves, and stuff from the woods. That it wont harm the frogs. That the bugs in it will help keep the tank clean. Also I learnt that earthworms eat poop. So if you put an earthworm in your frog/toad tank. It should extend the time you have to clean it. :P My friend from the forum said she just tops the top soil off every year and puts in new bugs. Also to add in springtails. Id like to add a small pile of leaves to make it natural. I kinda wanted to add a few live plants. Any suggestions?


BTW for any exo terra keeper! Important! Take the crappy foam background off!! Foam is bad for frogs! and crickets hide in it and are pain. xD

P.s. My screen top is starting to get bits of rust on it. How do I get rid of the rust? And could is there a paint or something to prevent it from rusting t hat wont h arm the animals? Any suggestions?

[Kurt]

It is a real good idea to take any wild caught animals you plan on keeping to the vet for a deworming.

Don't know how to stop rust. Sorry.

Using local soil and leaf litter is fine for keeping local frogs. Just make it is collected from somewhere that is pesticide/fertilizer/herbicide free.

P.s. they used to be easy to find.... Now they are HARD Ived looked everywhere... Alll I find is bullfrogs and turtles. . . I tried too look after a rainy day at my friends house. Once I found juvenile toads which is whatI was hoping to accomplish. I think I may just buy it. Btw. have you heard of the "southern toad"? I heard these are extremely shy. I seen them for sale. Can you coraborate?
