Do toads eat veggies??

[LilyPad]

I am in agreement with the rest of the people here. That was really bad advice. You should never feed them anything but the approved bugs.

I read on several sites including this one that toads and frogs do not have the digestive system to b able to digest processed meats and veggies. if you want it to eat veggies you feed the veggies to crickets or any bugs and then the nutrition is passed through the bug to your frogs.

Terrible advise by pet store!!! Frogs and toads do not eat plant matter (after they have transformed from tadpoles). The need to feed frogs and toads is rarely so desperate that they can't wait a day or two... As an alternative, I buy bugs over the internet. If you have reasonable mail service, just order some bugs (crickets, Dubia, etc.) in advance of when you need them. For baby toads, I really like little bitty Dubia nymphs (which you can buy cheap from Aaron Pauling). These are very tough little critters - feed them some cricket gut-load (I use Repashy gut-load) and fresh veggies and they will live for years. They survive heat, cold and mistreatment in shipping very well. Slow shipping to rural addresses shouldn't be a problem. Other bugs are generally less tough but it just depends on your mail service...
