    My American toads at primarily night crawlers. They are pretty much the most nutritious and easily digestible food that you can give them. Just make sure that they're dye free (not dyed for fishing) and do not have chemicals. Mine occasionally got crickets but preferred night crawlers over anything. Make sure you're dusting with vitamins and calcium.

    EDIT - And this is why I usually copy my post and refresh before I post it. LOL Carlos already has you covered!

    Thanks for the info! I see "red worms" online which look like they are just small earthworms. Do you just keep them in the fridge in the original container? Also how much do you feed with earthworms? I see most guidelines are for feeding crickets.

    "Red" worms are likely red wigglers and taste horrible. Do not feed him those or he might reject ALL worms. Cut them from the pointy end as Carlos told you, then you can either throw them in a dish (like a lid off a container) or tong feed them.
