I wasn't planning on using any of the wild species near me, only feeders I order online or at a local pet shop (not a chain store). I am doing lots of research to make sure it's something that can't get into by raccoons or other bugs. I should mention I am in a city so no garage or shed and the raccoons are more interested in people's trash. I have crickets that are quite loud all very close to my deck and I've never seen them hunt any, only once they grabbed a moth that was attracted to the light. If it really doesn't work I do have an attic but it's a bigger pain to get to. I plan to get these possible issues resolved before even getting any toads.
