American Toad Diet Questions

[elly]

I'd like to add that I've had frogs spit out red wrigglers/ tiger worms and refuse to eat worms after that. I think they taste somewhat bad. your mileage may vary though.

In my experience, their taste is fine for them, but I've experienced that my African common toads and Asian common toads don't like them and have never gone for anything worm-like that crawled.

My Bufo bufo, however, and Bufo japonicus, love them and go for anything crawler as well as wiggeley. So there may be a factor of what their normal prey-form is. There is also the factor of what they have mainly been fed: My African common toads were wild caught toads (a sympathy buy from an expo) and according to their seller they'd only been fed crickets in the 3-4 months he had kept them.

For the whole year and a half period I kept them, they refused to eat anything else than crickets.
