    Default Re: How do you all tame your toads?

    There is ONE way, but as Lija has already stated, these are look and don't touch pets, and you shouldn't handle them as it causes stress to them. What you need to do is move their tank into somewhere where people frequent, but don't actually do anything. Like a hallway or living room or something. Eventually they should be used to people being a major portion of their lives. Next step is to try feeding them irresistible foods, such as Wax-worms and Canadian night-crawlers. (Night-crawlers should be part of the staple diet as well) Once you feed that, leave and do something, and come back after a while to see if they've eaten. If they have, continue doing this treatment over the next month (Like a wax-worm twice a week) along with their normal feeding. After about a month has passed, try feeding them while you're in the room. If they continue eating, keep doing this until about another month has passed. The final step is to either start hand-feeding or tong feeding them. Once they start doing that, they should be "tame" and put up with humans, and possibly be out in the day or at least active when you walk past their tank. (they'll beg for food if they aren't already, it's adorable) Again, these are look and don't touch pets, some that you should very rarely handle, unless you're moving them to a temporary tank or cleaning it, ect. I hope this helped out a bunch of people, as I know I don't want my animals stressing themselves out for me!
