what does a lizard a horney toad eat?

Answer 1

Bugs.

Answer 2

Carinata is exactly correct!!!! I have bred them since the early 80's. This was an unknown fact then, and needless to say all of them eventually died. Some lived for 3-4 years with no signs of problems, some only lasted months, but all necropsy's indicated varying degrees of kidney and/or liver damage. What's termed as "renal failure", in every one. In 1987, a friend spent a summer researching in the field and showed me what he found. That different specimens from different locations had a widely ranging diet. Some preferred roaches some spiders some even ate grasses and small weed tops, but one thing they all had in common was every morning and evening they all gorged on ants no matter what locale he was documenting. I ended up ordering a biosystem of these ants and bred them. I have fed them to the Horny toads as a main staple ever since. I have never again had a case of "renal failure" at necropsy. Some have died since then of course, but due to other factors. I still successfully maintain 11 of the 16 original (from 1988), though all of them have been retired from breeding programs, up to now the 11 remaining are still healthy and thriving.

Answer 3

Horned lizards eat most small insects. But the problem is they have to have "harvester ants" as the primary food source. They have an enzyme that the lizard needs to properly metabolize their food. Without it they will eventually starve no matter how much they eat. They are also protected and therefore illegal to keep in captivity.

Answer 4

Desert horned lizards prey primarily on ants, but are also known to prey on other slow-moving insects such as beetles, as well as spiders and some plant material. They can often be found in the vicinity of ant hills, where they sit and wait for ants to pass by. When they find an area of soft sand, they usually shake themselves vigorously, throwing sand over their backs and leaving only their head exposed. This allows them to hide from predators and await their unsuspecting prey.
