Depends of the toad, if it has any toxins could be a problem. The red color is natural to Silver aros. As they grow older they will lose a lot of this, but the tail might hold some red even into adulthood.

if you just caught them outside your garden then i would suggest to stop feeding it to your aros as they might have some disease. you may try feeder frogs instead if you want to. you can check your local lfs if they have any.
