What To Choose; Woodhouse"s Toad or Couch's Spadefoot

[John]

They're not interactive like the toads in the genus Bufo, but they can be quite active, particularly when the humidity is high, and they aren't very shy. They're pretty small though, and therefore trickier to feed unless you culture large fruit flies or have a reliable source of very small crickets.

Thanks for the information! So Bufo sp. make good captives?

[John]

Definitely. I love true toads.

Woodhouse's Toad beats Spadefoot!
Sorry Spadefoot

I think you'll like them a lot! Mine get so excited at feeding time - they almost dance around, waiting for you to get to them. I do recommend that you watch how much they eat - you really can't overfeed the juvi's, but the adults tend to obesity, and they are more interactive and interesting if they are not stuffed "to the gills" every day...
