    I wouldn't really recommend it. They probably wouldn't be digested well because of their hard exoskeletons. Also, they are most likely salt water shrimp which means they are going to have a lot of salt and other compounds that could be harmful to your toad. If it's only going to be a week, you should be fine just waiting for crickets.

    Hope that helps

    Toads can do fairly well without food for a while, especially if it's a little chilly in your house.

    My suggestion would be to try some earth worms or red worms (I'm sure people fish in France right? ) Any bait shop, or similiar place should have them - even during the winter.

    I'd stay away from any salt water shrimp.

    Marinus are one of the only anurans known to accept eat canned cat and dog food. Get yourself a small can of high quality food (Blue Beast, Canine Caviar, Diamond, etc.). Put some on a dish, chop it into suitable sized pieces, and turn the lights out. You may be surprised the next morning.
