How often should I feed my american toads?

[KP]

The Anaxyrus americanus toads in and around my compound go from being morphs at the water's edge to half adult size or larger by fall. I keep track of individuals who remain in the compound and have photographed them at growth stages and it's very impressive to see how fast they grow in their first 5 months. Of course I can only account for 4 of them this year out of the thousands who got fully morphed into toadlets and set out on their terrestrial adventure. In any given year there are at least 2 couples and as many as 5 additional singles living in the compound during the spring spawn.

The toad native to Pennsylvania and northeast is not in Mexico. A subspecies I can see but they do not say it's different. It is a cold tolerant frog.
