    Default Is my toad's habitat dangerous?

    I currentely have two toads. I caught them in windowells and my sis wanted me to keep them. I did and I had to put them ina old rabit cage. My parents don't want them inside. I have had them for awhile so I don't want to le them go. Is there something i need to give them? Also, is it possible to train a toad.

    Rabbit cages are a no go! You need at least a ten gallon aquarium. kTaking in wild animals is ill advised. They need live food like crickets and coco fiber as substrate and a water dish to soak. Toads have many needs that must be met

    Can you Describe everything that your toads have in their cage and post a pic of them and their cage? That'll help us help you.

    You should read that, it will tell you everything you need to know to care for your toads. I would strongly suggest releasing them though. These animals cost money, plus you need to have a plan for winter when it's cold and for summer when the temps rise. They aren't going to be able to effectively burrow and hide from the heat or survive the winter in a rabbit cage. You need to be able to purchase live food for them. I would strongly suggest releasing them even if you like them. Enjoy observing them in the wild instead.

    Nice fat toads! For them to be their happiest, they will need some form of a tank or aquarium though. What are you feeding them?

    Thanks! We found them like that! I want a good aquarium like thing. I am feeding them worms, ants, and beetles. These good? And what about his cage? There is 2-3 inches of dirt, and they absolutely love it!
