    The only problem with keeping toads... Is the fact they need to be immedietly taken to a vet to get tested for parasites.... You cant get them sterile/parasite free... Now with pacmans since they're captive bred they likely do not have such issues... Though problem with pacmans is you need a permit... Such a dilema eitherway... Ps if i do go with toads i plan on breeding them so that they can be sold as captive bred.... I wasnt planning on doing this until i just thought about it.

    If you start out right, toads should be fine, as long as they have multiple hides, plenty of foliage, (Live or fake) access to a water bowl or water section, and some UVB, and they should be fine until you can find a vet. If you want a toad, there's nothing to stop you from looking for a vet before you decide though, so you can have it on hand to get rid of any parasites that they may have. To convince them to start eating, get a feeding bowl (To make sure they don't ingest substrate) and give them wax-worms and night-crawlers, night-crawlers are a great staple diet, as they are very nutritious and easy to digest, and wax-worms are good for getting something to eat, because they're high in fat, and are natures candy pretty much

    Sorry to hear about LLL Reptile, I have never used them just have seen good reviews on here about them and seen them advertising adults before on there website so thought I would throw there name out there. To be honest I haven't seen adults advertised to often, but that's just me. I prefer to buy as babies so I haven't looked around a lot for adults. Have you checked Fauna? You may be able to find one there if you do eventually set your mind on a pacman.

    Fowler's toads used to be classified as a sub species of Whoodhouse's toad, but were split recently due to them being different genetically. They have the same care, but Fowler's would be easier to collect, as they are an east coast species
