    That's great, I should have thought of heating being an issue. Glad the toad went for the crickets, I hope it'll go for the other foods, too. Congrats!

    Don't forget to dust the crickets with calcium. Also you should get a uvb light so she can produce vitamin d. Most tanks filter out uv light. My toad got metabolic bone disease because I didn't do this. The lack of calcium and vitamin d caused her to take it out of the long bones in her body. Now she has a gimpy leg. Have you tried feeding Dubia roaches, my toads love them. They are packed with protein, while mealworms are more like a sugary snack. I mix up what I feed them.
