How big do American toads get?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

American toads get to be fairly large. I currently have a toad and it is around the size of a soda can. Toads make a great pet. If you are willing to spend 25 dollars on your toad. Your toad will be very happy with its new habitat. I personally caught my toad in my backyard. You can either do what I did or purchase one at pet smart or your local petstore. I recommend fire belly toads if you decide to purchase one. They are easy to care for and rather non expensive. Diet. Toads usually feast on mealworms, crickets, earthworms, superworms, beatles,moths, pretty much anything small enough to fit in its mouth. I usually feed my toad until it gets full and stops eating. I feed my toad every day. If you can supply dirt, a water dish, a hiding spot (a log, an open can, or a half tunnel of wood which you can find at most petstores. I hope my information helped a lot thanks.

Asked by Zane111

Salamanders and Newts are thougth to be different animals but in reality they are the same thing. The male leaves a pedastle of sperm on the ground in front of the female and if the female approves of the male she will pick up the pedastle. when the eggs mature the female will then lay the eggs in moist places like streams or vernal pools and some species lay eggs under leaves.

How often do you feed fire bellied toad crickets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the toad. On average one fire belly toad will eat around 10-12 crickets a week, in the spring and summer. They tend to hibernate in the fall and winter and may not eat for weeks to months on end. You should feed your fire belly as much as he/she can eat in a few hour period - and on a schedule of every other day or every few days. You can even feed them on a weekly basis. If you have more than one toad than you may not want to consider feeding them on a weekly basis - since you want to make sure that one of the toads is not monopolizing all of the food.

What if a fire belly toad is fat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. There have been rare cases of a fire belly toad dieing from over eating. Although their appetites change in the winter. They tend to have a bigger appetite in the summer. Even though you can't kill your fire belly with too much food, it's not normal to feed it 20 insects every single day. You should stick to one to two insects every other day.

He's right.

Are fire belly toads ok to touch and handle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You should not handle fire belly toads or any other kind of frog, toad, or newt. The oils in your skin can harm the animal. Some toads, frogs, and newts have poison that they will release when they feel threatened. Fire belly toads, and most toads have this poison. It is okay to handle them if you must. Do not handle them alot or for fun. If you must pick them up, make sure your hands are clean and wet. If your hands are dry, you will absorb moisture out of the toad and make it dry. They need moisture to live.

Can fire belly frogs and toads be together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have a terrarium with two red eared sliders, and 2 fire bellied toads along with many fish and other aquatic animals. I was wondering the same question. I have had mine living in a 100 gallon tank with my turtles for about a month now and they seem to get along. In fact, today the frogs were hanging onto the shell of my turtle enjoying a nice little ride. As far as I can tell, as long as there is plenty of food in your tank for the turtles to eat and not think of your frogs as prey they should be fine, but like I said I'm not sure.

Can fire belly frogs live with fish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes IF

- you have enough water so the toxins from the toads don't kill them

- the fish can survive in the same temperature range as the toads

- the fish are going to eat or nip at the toads

-the poison will not kill or make the other fish ill at contact such as a healthy Betta fish.

Lots of people keep feeder guppies with their toads. Sometimes the toads catch them. But is very rare. Mine didn't catch them.

Do fire belly newts fight when put together?

Asked by Wiki User

No, not usually. Fire belly Toads and Newts are put together all the time, and seem to enjoy each other's company. If they do start to fight, separate them right away.

Can you keep other breeds with fire belly toads?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I wouldn't. Its not safe...

If they're toads you want to mix with the fire belly then make sure they are the same size..keep in mind that if they are different sizes..they can get REALLY mad because either toad would be on the others "property" and if that happens they will kill each other.

I wouldn't get into the fire belly toad/frog issue..just DONT mix them.

Hope I helped! :)
