    If given a choice I usually go with captive bred animals only because it can make their adjustment easier. As for parasites--regardless of wild caught vs captive bred--it's a good idea to get stool specimens checked for parasites every so often. It sounds like you've already bonded with the little fella. Go for it. One thing's for sure, a Chubby isn't going to leap out of your hands leaving you to crawl around on your hands and knees searching for him all day.

    But I also love Cane toads x____x and if I do get chubby frogs I want them to be active in their tanks D: even though id give them luxary. And Iam going for an amazon themed idk if theyd like that D: I wanna try out my mind and go for a rainforest! D: But I wannted the cane toads because they can live in that environment and be happy about it. x___x the chubby frog isnt captive bred. x____x and they probably dont last that long. D: my turtle would have lasted 30-50years D: the cane toad can last up to 50years. And Idk Dx if i should buy them from the store now.

    Also Idk the one at my store just sits there like a lump borrowed. but they used bark. So he probably ate some and will die D: like it happened to my other amphibian.

    Chubbies burrow and sit like a lump all day because they are nocturnal. I have TWO Cane Toads. I never see them during the day. They only come out of their rock cave at night. My Cane Toads don't like to be held and they are very skiddish. You might want to check out some Cane Toad care sheets on line. Cane Toads like low humidity.

    All cane/marine toads are wild caught. No one is breeding them as far as I know. So its all the same whether you get a marine/cane/giant toad or a chubby/painted/Malaysian bullfrog. By the way most of Malaysia is rainforest, so I would think a chubby frog would be at home in a heavily planted terrarium and unlike a marine toad it won't trample the plants into oblivion.

    I don't know if any frogs "like" people. it's more a question of how much a frog will tolerate a human.

    Hmmmmmmm. That's a tall order for an amphibian.

    I think Iam going for another turtle... I want a hatchling. :/ I get extremely attached to turtles... I dont know why. I cried when I had to give my turtle up. I rescued him as a hatchling from nyc.... from those death traps... And I missed him. and I was told toads have a gentle dispossition.

    I can't see a Cane Toad being happy in a rainforest setting. The come from Central America and thrive in Australia where the climate is very, very dry.When you talk about "Amazon themed" you aren't planning on keeping various frogs and toads in the same "rainforest" habitat are you? (Just checking.)Different species shouldn't be housed together, and a Cane toad WOULD eat just about ANYTHING smaller than itself. Chubbies live around ten plus years and Cane Toads live maybe seven years longer.

    D: Idk whats the best amphibian for me. Nightime activity is good for me. Because Iam a night owl. So I can catch them active. But turns out the chubby frogs in these pets stores are wild caught. so yeah and its not feeding.
