Fire bellied toad predator

[limnologist]

does anyone know of any type of pet that can eat a fire bellied toad?

Wrong question to ask in this forum !

Any carnivorous animal that is bigger than the FBTs can eat it. FBTs are toxic so they might not survive. I hope you aren't planning anything! LOL!

I want to breed FBTs but would have to have a way to get rid of extras. so I was wondering if there is like a pet snake or something that can eat them and not be harmed. I know they have natural predators but no one can tell me what they are.

Couldn't you just sell them and give them new homes?

I'm sure you can find someone that would take the extras off your hands. Also keep in mind, not all of the little guys will probably make it, so that will keep some numbers down. I really wouldn't suggest feeding them off to something, as it's unnecessary and possibly harmful to whatever you try to feed it to. Why not try posting a classified ad and make some deals(1 for $5, 2 for $8, etc)? If you can't go about that, I wouldn't really start a breeding project.

I could sell them off but I always end up with more than I can sell, give away, trade, and keep. just making sure I have emergency options for if I breed too many. that and Im curious what their natural predators are, anyone know??

Its just, Ive only ever kept pets that can feed my other pets when I breed them (american toads, axolotls, pacmans, guppies, bettas) all can eat eachother and the they can feed my bearded dragon, and water snake. I keep food chains as pets for the sake of learning.

my pacman will eat the tadpoles if they are young enough!!! but if you have a African bullfrog or pixie I would recommend that you feed the youngest tadpoles to them!!!

Theres a local science center around me that use their fire belly tads and eggs for African clawed frog feeders and the adult fire bellies usually pick off any that they leave in

If they can eat the tads, maybe it is a possibility for the pacmans to eat the adults. Though the tads don't have a very potent amount of the defensive toxins, the pacmans might be able to build an immunity by eating the tads for a while.

I should look into afc's building immunity as well.
