I am getting a toad in my terrarium.
Does anybody have any advice for me about what they eat? etc.

ooo fun =] i have had toads since i was about 6…and i'm 15 now. i caught them in the creek, and still have 1 =P

if it's a baby toad, you can go dig up some worms at a park and divide them up; that's what we did. or just buy the very small "pinhead crickets" at petsmart or something like that.

as it gets bigger, feed it bigger crickets. they like basically any kind of bug also.

and make sure you have a little dish of water in there….maybe some soil or dirt too. we keep our toad in a mixture of sand (like from a playground) and soil – no fertilizer though!!

if you keep it in a big enough home, it most likely will live a long time. my dad said 20+ years could be common =P like i said, we've had our toad for about 7-8 years now, and had another one for about 5. anyways, good luck!!

ok..well me and my friend were walking home and we saw a toad so we caught it..now i wanna know how to take care of it!we have it in a big bucket thing and theres grass,,buggs,,and stuff in it..what else should we do??

Keep it in a 20 gallon terrariium. Provide a heat lamp. crickets and a big bowl of water(change daily) The bedding shpuld be peat moss and driftwood. Make sure to put a piece of food in the tank when you empty in crickets for the toad to eat. If crickets get REALLY HUNGRY then they might turn on your toad so give them something like a piece of bread of lettuce for the insects to munch upon.

Ok, To make this simple, I got about 5 tadpoles from my teacher in science class. His are still tadpoles and still eat algae. I was told to feed it algae on a previous yahoo answers. But now I have the tadpole has 4 legs and barely a tail left. These have been born in captivity before we picked them up out of the lake so they dont know what to do in the wild. I need to know what a proper tank should have. (right now i have 2 rocks. 1 with algae and another out of water. He likes going to the one out of the water.) The last one we had died. and we dont want this one to. So what should we feed him? Thats all I basicly need to know. Could small ants work? My mom said she knows where they are. Also he is about a inch long. So if you know what kind of toad this is, it will help a lot. Even an idea for it. So that you for reading!!!!

Frogs and toads hunt for food primarily on land. It needs insects and other small invertebrates to eat,ants are not good food. You can't just have a rock for it to sit on it needs land. If you try to feed it on a rock the food will jump into the water and be gone. It doesn't matter that the eggs hatched in captivity, they still know how to survive free. Nobody can tell you what kind of "toad" you have. If the eggs were in strings they were toad eggs and if they were in a blob they were frog eggs. Your Clue about an inch long well that fits almost every single frog on earth at some point in it's life. Where did it come from? What color is it's back,bottom, chin, legs, etc? Does it have spots?

Can somebody give me some awesome, not boring to read, kick-butt websites on carings for firebelly toads?

Here is a care sheet typed up from one Firebelly Toad owner, for another:
