Baby American Toadlet won't eat!

[toadallytoads6489]

I caught a baby American toad 2 days ago. He is smaller than my pinky nail. I tried offering him ants, fruit flies, and other tiny insects but he won't eat anything! Please help!

How are you offering the food?

I've been putting him into a small container with the insects for a while.

Have you tried tong feeding? If you could get your hands on small crickets/worms it might be easier.

Does he still have a tail? If so he is still absorbing it and does not need food. Or maybe the toad is just stressed. Or maybe you are offering the wrong food.
