What to feed American Toads?

Yeah he seemed to enjoy it. He really goes nuts over the pacman frog food. I've been offering that 1 day a week the past 3 weeks or so and I've seen an explosion in growth since I added that to his diet. Might just be a coincidence tho

I tried the pac food, only one will take it, the others look at me like I'm crazy trying to pass that off as food.

what i have learned is that toads love small prey that move a lot. crickets meet this criteria but i have had nothing but bad luck with them. what i mean by bad luck is pin worms. And the career's come from places such as petco, LLL reptile and other very well known places in my area. each in which get there crickets from diverse breeders. So i had a good friend of mine send me 20,000 lateralis or other known as turkistan roaches or red runners. they are cricket size and breed like you wouldnt believe. above all my toads love them the most. and they are the most nutritional source of food i can get them to eat. although i have a different species my cane toads are quite similar to your toads as far as diet is concerned. diversity is a must. Dubia are very good and except-able but they tend to not move to much and earth worms tend to burrow faster then the toads can notice them. small mice are good once a month but my toads dont always go after them. As a staple i suggest Lateralis over anything because they have 12 times the nutritional value as crickets and they draw much attention to themselves.
