Diet: | Carnivorous |
Description of Diet: | They eat a diet from worms to crickets. Just drop in a few crickets every 3 days. Make sure if you have more than one toad, make sure that toad gets the same amount. You can also do the same with worms, slugs, millipedes and more. |
Supplements, Nutrition and Usage: | Dust about 4 crickets at a time, every 2 weeks. Make sure you don’t forget, or their color will go "blah". |
Maintenance: | Clean Tide-bits up here and there, like poo and etc. Fix plants that are knocked down. Change water every 2 to 3 days, 4 days the max. |
Some Words on this Species: | Well I have 3 American toads and they are very simple to take care of. They are easy to hand tame. And like to be held, sometimes! |
