Over the 4th of July I found two Great Plains Toads on my Grandma's farm. My wife and I decided to let our boys keep them as pets, so I've got a terrarium set up for them and have been feeding them crickets that I buy from a co-worker who owns a reptile/pet shop. He doesn't know much about these toads, as he's more of a lizard and snake guy. These suckers can eat! The two toads together would have no problem slurping down two dozen medium crickets in a sitting. I'm sure they didn't eat this much when they were in the wild.

Does anyone else here have toads as "pets"? How much do you feed them? I'm thinking a half-dozen crickets each per day should hold them over, but at the same time, I don't want the buggers to get hungry.

Call me a softy, but nobody likes to feel like they're starving day in, day out.

Saw that one....there's another one or two simple things online, but I also wanted to hear from Trapperman folks....I feel like I "know" you guys and gals here, so it's like asking a friend vs. a stranger.

My son kept a random road he found in the yard for several months. He fed it june bugs and such that he caught, and we had a little thing of water that the toad would sometimes sit in, and I assume would drink from, and it did fine. We ended up letting it go in the fall.

When my sister lived in Wichita, Kansas, they had a toad that just showed up, and lived under a rock near the built in garage door. The night light would draw moths and June bugs and it was a very fat and sassy toad., and was almost friendly. LOL

Used to have a garage road. He would come out, check out what you were up to. Was pretty cool, hog nose snake ate him one day. Scared the crap outta my wife

Good catfish bait
