Actually toads drink through their skin just like frogs. That's the reason why they soak. I have 3 toads at home asnd I've never seen them drink with their mouth. Also I think a sexuality spectrum because my %100 Female toad tries to mate with my other male and female toads. 😂. I know she's female because she dosent chirp and she dosent have a blue neck

Try to feed it. If the toad eats, it's probably fine. If it doesn't eat, you have a serious issue, or the toad has just came out of hibernation really recently. I rescue toads temporarily from my pool, but when a toad won't eat it, it usually dies.

We've recently acquired toads from the backyard. Stopped at 5 😂 There are still more, but I came here to check out toad care. I'm definitely keeping them now. Easy care for my kids, and they love watching them eat. I got flightless knats for the babies and got junebugs from the back porch for the adult.

[@HaloVenom]

I feed my chonky boy worms

[@mikelyman3297]

Thanks for the toads vid! I've kept a pair of toads for 5 years now, raised since when I caught them as babies (I figured that I would impact the environment by taking babies instead of established adults, and maybe less chance of having acquired parasites.) One correction: toads DO absorb water through their skin for drinking (I don't think I've seen seen my toads drink through their mouths), but they only absorb it through a small patch of skin on their underside, opposed to other frogs that can absorb through their skin anywhere. Also, something important to mention is shedding: toads will shed their skin periodically and if you observe them doing it, it's REALLY gross: they get all slimy looking and peel and eat the dead skin off themselves. My toads really enjoy eating hornworms and nightcrawlers. Dubias are good too but they have a hard time catching them unless feeding outside the tank in a special container, which is why I like feeding crickets: the crickets can provide some enrichment while the toads hunt them down in their enclosure, but the crickets don't disappear as easily as the dubias. Toads are great pets: easy to care for, they have big personalities, and you can feed them all sorts of fun bugs.

[@faithmakira]

[@mikelyman3297]

[@jerrykmack3074]

The Eastern American Toad can be very long lived in captivity (over 30 years!) With good care you can keep these toads and their very close cousins the Fowler's toad for a long time. The only drawback is they are wrecking balls on 4 legs so enclosures require very sturdy setups designed with live plants set into pots that fit into close fitting repressions in the substrate and sturdy in nature or set above the enclosure floor (vining plants, mosses planted in vertical niches and on well elevated wood) Most of the horizontal floor being fiber mat or dry locked foam with soil/peat depressions are a very good idea. You can have a very attractive setup still but build it like a playroom for hyper 6 yr olds.

She seems to like it and will hang out in it "just chillin'" for hours during the day. She also comes out to look in the food bowl and if sees me will look at me and look in the bowl.

Good guide. I keep a toad each year over the winter and I’ve come up with many of the conclusions you share here. Bugs to eat, fresh spring water, and a place to hide. It’s really interesting how they all have different personalities too. This year’s toad (Toady Stark) is very boring. Thanks for the video!

[@TrippTh3Kidd]

Considering how common it is for young boys to scoop up one of the 10 thousand toads they find in the family garden and keep as a pet, this is actually a banger resource. In the south at least, catching and having a pet frog is something most kids end up doing.

He looks very displeased XD like his servant just brought him a bug that was a bit too small for his liking. Also my sister had an african bullfrog for a while. He was cool. When she got him he could fit on your finger nail. So she gave him a big name “Cornelius” well he ended up as big as a guys fist. He probably wasn’t done getting bigger either. Anyway whenever my sister was away she was away for maybe month. So for like a whole summer i was the one who would feed him. And doing that was easy. Id go out into my yard and turn over rocks to find worms. And huge fat slugs. And snails too. Id come in with a small bowl with a bunch of worms and slugs. He really loved the slugs.

[@skyc3598]

Good care guide btw, for toad water, I'd definitely recommend dechlorinating. Many toad species have a patch of skin on their stomach that they use to absorb water. Idk if it's all species, but for frogs and toads I've always used aquarium or koi pond dechlorinator. You can also set a pitcher of water outside in the sun to dechlorinate it for free.

[@jerrykmack3074]

[@jerrykmack3074]

Correct Sky. They rely completely on skin absorption for hydration. They may occasionally swallow water when eating something they have grabbed in water but that is insidental. Also tho it may be splitting hairs it appears that at least one or more of the toads in the video are Bufo fowleri not Bufo americanus, although they are very closely related and can and do crossbreed in Nature

[@Zach-cc4ft]

Toads are underrated, I plan to get a group of 3-4 toads this summer and give them an amazing enclosure. For some reason they are just very relaxing to watch for me. I also like how they'll burrow and then randomly appear covered in their substrate like they just woke up from a nap and get very visibly excited when there is food. and the way they'll twiddle their toes when they're about to jump/go after prey. I like the ones that chirp when they're scared too

[@shawncollins4107]

Your toad is the cutest

[@art9473]

I think the amount to feed adult toads will depend on their sex, part of their sexual dimorphism is that female toads often wind up much, much larger (up to like 2x as big) and in my experience they will need to eat more than an adult male will, also if you are cohabiting a pair of adults (male and female) and do not want them to breed, mildly lower temperatures and humidity will often be enough of a deterrent and prevent breeding (and in many cases croaking) as it stimulates winter weather.

[@brittanylong4669]

This isn’t necessary at all. Toads cannot breed unless they’ve recently brumated (hibernated for a few weeks and coming up periodically for food and water) and don’t produce the necessary hormones to do so, even if they attempt amplexus. The males cannot fertilize the eggs and the females will absorb her eggs that she reproduces, like how mammals expel their eggs.

Every year hundreds of toads spawn in my back yard in my koi pond. I always have to go out and stop them from baking in the sun or drowning (there's a raised aquarium part that they know how to swim up into but not out). There are thousands of baby toads coming out of my pond that end up being bird and lizard food in the neighborhood. I feel like a little toady guardian angel ushering them into their new (and unfortunately short) lives beyond my koi pond. Until this very moment, I never considered just keeping one of the babies before a bird eats them. In a couple months when this happens again i'll go ahead and keep one after saving it from the pond thanks to this video.

Found your channel watching toad videos lol, I have 5 american toads, 2 females and 3 males. Very humorous animals, each with very unique individual personalities.

Hey man, I have had an American Toad for 4 months or so now and he has been super chill but has some difficulty with handling and eating, so this video has helped so much! Any additional advice from anyone is welcome :)
