Adjusting to Captivity?

[Fingolfin]

From what I have heard, cane toads have a hard time adjusting to captivity, but there are a few things you can do to help. (Not sure how well they work, as I have never had a cane toad, but it definitely won't hurt). 1) provide many visual barriers, like driftwood, tropical plants, etc. 2) use live plants, try to re-create it's natural habitat. 3) provide a generous layer of substrate. Once again, I have never had these, but many terrestrial toads like to be partly submerged in substrate. 4) cover the back wall and sides of the tank. This goes with #1, but I thought it would be better as its own separate thought, having larger visual barriers on many sides will help with making the animal as un-stressed (Is that a word?) As possible. Good luck with your toad!

You shouldn't worry. Even some captive bred reptiles or amphibians can take 2 weeks to settle and feed properly, it may take longer for a wild caught but it's a good sign that it's been eating, even if just a little. Just make sure temps/humidity are good and try to leave it alone as much as possible. They're nocturnal and won't come out at night, so it will be inactive during the day.
