What do toads eat and other info?

Question

what do i have to do if i take in a few toads as pets, (food, water, heat, organizing cage/aquarium...)

Answer 1

It would help if we knew what type of toad. The most popular toad at pet store is the fire belly toad.

They can eat crickets, meal worms, wax worms (if big enough), fruit flies, calci worms, etc.

Answer 3

keeping wild caught toads in captivity (as pets) is cruel immoral and environmentally reprehensible when a wild animal i removed from its natural environment and put in a confined space it causes massive amounts of stress. this affects herps (reptiles and amphibians) very badly worse than most other orders many die simply from the stress of being in captivity it also weakens there immune system meaning more die from disease. those that survive suffer from stress related behavior disorders, stress related illness and have a shortened life span. there quality of life is pretty bad too

in other words put it back if u dont know what it is or how to care for it why even pick it up. your ignorance will probably kill this animal

u want a toad learn there basic care then learn about what species u want then buy the equipment u need and then AND ONLY THEN buy a toad from a reputable pet store

Answer 4

If its a wild toad just release it around a creek or stream. It will live a better life there, wild toads should not be pets and it would likely die in your care.
