    Welcome to FF! here's our care sheet on Bufo toads including the cane toad Frog Forum - Toad Basics - Keeping ground-dwelling Toads. A care sheet for Bufo, Anaxyrus, Spea, Scaphiopus, Ollotis, Alytes, Pelobates

    First of all, Get a thermometer, its vital to know the temperature within your toad's enclosure, and a hygrometer for humidity.
    Usually leaving out water overnight wont be enough to remove chloramines, Get a water conditioner to make the water safe.

    BIG red flag is raised when you mention orchid bark as substrate, If she ingests any of that, she could get it stuck in her gut and get impacted. Replace the orchid bark with cocoanut fiber and give her a lukewarm bath with dechlorinated water, one or two drops of honey should be added to the water when bathing her, leave her in for ten minutes daily. Impaction is the most common problem with many frog species. Turf and moss should never be used as well. Although aesthetically pleasing, its risking impaction as well. Turf is designed for reptiles and is abrasive to the toad's skin.

    Cane toads shouldn't be handled regularly because of the bufotoxins released when handled and have very delicate skin.
