my hubby and I were fishing the other day and he found 3 tiny little toads that we decided to take home. We did not catch no fish though. Anyways, what do these guys require? I have them in a tank that is mostly land and just a little bit of water. I have tried to feed them mealworms, tiny crickets, and bloodworms. But, they are not eating. Do I need a heat lamp for these guys? Any suggestions on what to feed them? Any feedback on this is greatly appriecated. Thanks!

all depends on what they acctuley are: frogs or toads. well they both need about the same requirments water dish, heat, maybe moss or bark,and food. i would add that heat lamp and theyll start to eat after awhile, there just stressed after that. if you have any other questions feel free to ask em
they are toads, not frogs. just curious as to what they will eat. tried lots of stuff nad they wont eat it
What kind of substrate do you have in with them?
Very moist dirt/soil (that black stuff usually used for gardening, cept without the added chemicals, etc) would be best for them. They'll eat crickets, and since their native probably
any bugs that are around, watch for parasites if you catch em from outside.
Have enough substrate so that they can burrow if they need to, I dont know
about heat lamp requirements, but it'd probably be best to have some sort of heating lamp though. Plants would do well in the soil and probably help keep it humid.

to get a better idea we need to know what species of toad it is
a picture would help, nothing fancy, just clear enough to tell what species it is.
Just my opinion.i dont know what kind of toad it is. just looks like a regular garden toad. damn camera still down. hubby too lazy to fix it
