yeah, that's what i heard too but my cane is big wimp! i had more cover originally but then decided it would be better for monitoring and feeding with just a simple set up. Cane toads are never captive bred really, so most likely wild caught, i've heard a lot of the ones in the pet trade are from florida. hopefully not, i hate the way some people treat these guys. i understand it can take a while for amphibians to adjust but i've never had problems with them hiding 24/7 and feeding
