  1. yes.


  2. Most frogs and toads eat insects, spiders, worms, and slugs. Some of the larger species will go for mice and other small rodents, and even other small reptiles and amphibians. At the San Diego Zoo they are fed crickets, worms, fruit flies, or mice.

    Hoppers are responsible for keeping a large part of the world's insect population under control. In some cases, however, their appetites can be a problem. Latin American cane toads Bufo marinus were introduced to Australia in 1935 to kill sugarcane beetles. But instead of beetles, the toads preferred to eat native frogs, small marsupials, and snakes. Not only that, but they poisoned everything that tried to eat them, including rare animals like Tasmanian devils and pet dogs! Since they lay more than 50,000 eggs at a time, they turned into bigger pests than the beetles they were supposed to get rid of.

  3. Oh yes.  Fact is they will attempt to eat any critter that gets in their face.  Including other toads and frogs.
