 My new toads! helpp

Sexing and Characteristics:
-Females are alot bigger than male�s and female tend to have a clean non-dotted like throat�s and males have dotted like spots on there throat�s.


Mostly Active During:
-Night


Substrate and Water Needs:
-You can use organic peat moss, organic potting soil, coco-fiber and some other organic soil. I use about 3-5 inches of soil in my tank, so the american toad�s may burrow up. Use a water bowl that is big enough for the toads to lay in and no deeper then the toads throat. Use fresh de-chlorinated water and change it ever day.


Lighting and UVB:
-No special lighting is needed, use a low WATT bulb. I use a 15-25 watt bulb for mine.


Temperatures and Humidity:
-Day: 75-80
-Night: 65-70

-You do not need to have much humidity as these toad�s can dry up from to much humidity. I spray my toad�s tank ones or twice a day (toads will sometimes come up from the burrows if you spray the tank)
Heating and Equipment:
A heat mat is no required, and DON’T use heat rock�s as it will burn your toad. A thermometer is needed


Caging Provided:
-I use 4 inches of organic peat moss, then i bought 3 live plant�s to make the tank look cooler and provide hiding spot�s. I bought a thermometer and a water bowl that the toad�s may lay in. i use a standard 20gal tank, which i house 4 American toad�s in. (one toad = 5 gal, but bigger the better)
I provide then a 15 WATT bulb.


Diet:
-Carnivorous


Description of Diet:
-American toad�s mostly like to eat Cricket�s but worm�s and mealworm�s are on there menu as well.Rule of thumb is "Feed your toad as much as it will eat in 15 minutes to determine the amount fed each feeding period" ( i feed mine every night)


Supplements, Nutrition and Usage:
-Dust the cricket�s with powder calcium to make your toad more health ( you can feed your cricket�s "gut loaded" which also help your toads health )


Maintenance:
-Clean toad every 1-2 weeks depending on the amount of toad�s you have and spot clean it ever month. Change water EVER day.
Some Words on this Species:
American toads are fun toads to raise and love. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do =)





Thats just a general caresheet i made. Please read through it.. as no knowing something that your toad needs or no knowing your doing something wrong will kill the toads.
