How much to feed American toad?

[ToadMama4]

Fascinating about possibly being a wooodhouse toad! I will look into it. Yes, we live within that range.

Even as a staple food, we are unsure how much nightcrawler Ted ought to be getting. Ted would never be satisfied, is perpetually hungry, so I fear overfeeding. Ted's rate of growth rapidly increased with the wax worms...so I knew there was a problem.

Do you concur with AAron that Ted is a female, even if a woodhouse toad. My husband thinks its "grunted" a couple times, but has never squeeked or peeped.

Thanks again!

Strike that...upon careful viewing of the Woodhouse's toad's range, I think that we are just easterly of its range.

Everyone has had some good tips so far, but I thought I might throw out a suggestion for your terrarium. It looks pretty barebones, he might appreciate having more plants, moss, and more obstacles to give him more hiding places and to make him feel less exposed.
