    Welcome to the forum! You can dig up worms outside in an area you're sure is free of pesticides and fertilizers, she'd enjoy a nice fat night crawler. You can pick them up from a bait shop also, so long as they are not dyed. You can also buy smaller crickets. I will only buy crickets that aren't big enough to start chirping. Make sure you're dusting with vitamins and calcium

    Amy has you covered for feeding I wouldn't feed earwigs because of the possibility of them pinching the toad and they probably aren't very nutritious by themselves. Worms that are collected from a pesticide free location or non dyed and crickets are in my opinion your best option.

    Hello and welcome to FF! Best food for toad are night crawlers. Insects should be sized same as distance between toads eyes or smaller. If feeding crickets, gut load them for 24-48 hours with lettuce, carrots, and cherios cereal. You need to supplement it's diet, more info on that in here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
