  help me and smommy!!

ok i need help not that long ago i found a hurt americain toad in nova scotia and it was almost getting hit my cars so i brought him home and took care of him till he was better by then it was winter through out the winter my kids tamed him and now she can t even change crickets for her self( she is hand feed) i have a 30 gal down stairs with fbt but trust me setting her in with them is not good :P so she is kept in a 2.5 gal because i don t have enough to buy a larger tank.... what can i do to make that tank better so far i have rocks 2 plants and a dish (leveled with the ground) of water.... is that good enough??

if you are looking for a enexspencive tank go to your local pet store and you can find a 10 gal. tank for only $9.95. but since you only have 2.5 gal. here are the basic’s

* dirt or bark (i like both)

*a bowl big enough water dish that your toad can sit in.

*plants (real or plastic)

*spray bottle (to keep the dirt miost)

those ar the basic’s, but if you end up getting a 10 gal. you can add rocks and some other fun stuff.
hope i helped! (:

well.......if he/she was my toad i prob. wouldn’t, considering that there r lots of small things, lots of people around and i would not want her/him getting sick or anything. so it is strictly up to you. i would not but it is not my chose.

It is normal 2 have a toad/frog croak at night. mine use 2 croak also, i know it’s not from lonely-ness but prob cuz they r not used to being in a cage. thats what i would say. but, hey, did u find ur toad or get it from a store?

about 2 years ago when i was on a jeep rally in nova scotia and my mom noticed him around where everyone was driving and she almost got hit over and over so i brought her back to pei. they say that they ll dy if they are brought in to a cage from the wild but i don t think that is true any ways by spring sadly she was tamed and was used to being hand feed( my dam friend is to blame) do u think that is it?
