A Good Site For Toad Information?

Question

I'm looking for an informative website that will give me general care information for keeping toads as pets. I've been browsing all day and all I can seem to find is a lot of information on poisonous toads and fire-bellied toads, which is an aquatic toad and I need information about how to keep just a regular, common toad. I used to keep them as a pet when I was a kid and I'd like to try it again. I used to have a bunch of informative books but they're long gone (I think my mom sold them in garage sale, in fact). So if you could refer to me to a link, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! I'm also open to any information you have to offer. Thanks again.

I could I should have been a little more specific... I'm not looking for information on true toads, the ones classified in the family Bufo. I'm looking for information on other types of toads, from the order Anura. Thanks!

Oh and just FYI... I'm a member of the kingsnake.com community and they don't have the information I'm looking for. It's one of the first places I checked.

Answer 2

I've had pet toads.I love them.I kept mine in a ten gallon tank(20 gallon would be better).As a substrate,I used a mixture of ordinary garden soil(no pesticides or herbicides),Eco-earth,and leaf-litter.I kept it damp,but not wet.The toads had a half-log to hide under,and a few pieces of bark as well.I put a small spider plant in(you can use most any plant),a shallow water dish,and a big handful of damp moss. I fed them crickets,earthworms,slugs,wax worms and small meal worms,as well as pill bugs,beetles,moths and flies from my yard.I dusted the insects with a reptile vitamin once a week,and fed them for a few days before giving them to the toads.One of the toads would eat right from my hand.I had them for over a year,and then I took them to the woods and released them,but I kind of regret it ,as they were really neat,easy to care for pets.

Answer 3

I will admit I know nothing about toads, but I found a few sites that may help you. Also amazon.com has lots of books on toad care so perhaps you can find something there. Hope this helps a little.
Good luck!
