What should I feed eastern american toads i found in my yard?

Answer 1

bugs such as crickets, flies, grass hoppers, worms, slugs. just about any bug you can find in your yard as long as it can fit it into his mouth. feed it about 5 to 10 crickets a day if full grown.

Answer 4

the fact u need to ask this show that your not prepared to look after a toad release it before u kill it

also

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

Answer 5

You should let them go. You are going to kill them in captivity. Let them go to do their job. Poor things.
