How do you care for an American toad?

Answer 1

American toads are easy to care for and can be easily found anywhere in the US. Never hold your toad while standing, as they may jump and injure themselves. American toads are always hungry and can consume as many as 15 crickets in one night. They also eat minnows, earthworms, pinky mice, and fruit flies. Only feed pinky mice to adults. Feed as much as the toad will eat in 15-minutes, and remove the excess food when the time is up. A single toad needs a 10-gallon tank, and an additional 5-gallons for every other toad. Logs, driftwood, and a water bowl large enough for the toad to soak in should be installed in the tank. Line the bottom of the tank with peat moss.
