Thank you for this! Got a toad for my birthday and needed to see some examples for tank set up haha 🤣
Congrats! I’m so glad this helped, and I hope your toad enjoys his home!!
Tip for an upgrade: get a small plastic bowl and glue small pebbles and rocks to it to make a in-ground pond for him
Nice idea.
I used a pan and I inplanted in the ground of my enclosure so my toad could swim around and soak
@@BBgooberXalso a good idea
What kind of glue do you recommend?
Good job on the enclosure and the video. Keep it up.
Thank you!!!
Great video, keep us updated .
Nice dude cool build. I used a plastic box for my toad enclosure
Can never go wrong with plastic tanks 👍
btw thats a western toad you can tell from the line on its back
I used to keep toads, they ALWAYS want out
Mine has never even attempted to escape even if the door is open. He knows he has it made
lmaoo mine too! my nieces love him cause they can hold him without jumping out of their hand@@Tootnscoot
@@Tootnscoot exactly! They need to step up their enclosure/feeders game UP
I love toad
I have a lot of it🐸🐸🐸🐸
Good job on that enclosure! I loved the video, and I think you should name him Coconut :)
I keep toads at first. They wanted to leave. But then they liked it because I gave them food 😅
They always like it if there’s food 😉
Yeah 😅
👈😘
What do you feed your toad? I caught one yesterday that was in my house.
I feed him crickets and fruit flies which I get from the store, but I also use ear wigs I catch around my house, nasty, but he likes them. I made my own reserve of those.
Let me know if you have any other questions :)
@@hobbybiology Thanks for the info! Very much appreciated!
My toad is the size of a thumbnail, lol. It has to be a baby.
Do you know when it would know to eat?
I added some spinach and shredded carrots to the terrarium, but I'm not sure if it touched it.
@@princessl.d.g. I try to feed it with the tongs every other night, unless it looks hungry. He stands on his back legs against the glass sometimes, I feel like thats when he's telling me he's hungry lol.
The fruit flies should serve well for it since it can snack on them passively, and they're good for smaller reptiles/amphibians.
What I do is I keep a small plastic lid or tray in the tank with some mushed berries, this way when I add fruit flies to the tank they stay in there, but some definitely get out.
@@hobbybiology Thanks so much for the info! This certainly helps a lot!
You earned a new subby! Keep up the great work!
dude mine I got a day ago also almost got hit!
If they realized they would be thankful 🙏
Where can I find an American toad for sale? I live in Washington and nobody seems to have them.
Unfortunately the same here :/ people should breed and sell them. They have amazing potential as pets
I really wish I knew there was such a big demand for American toads. I had 16 a couple months ago. I kept four but released the others back into the wild (they were morphs and it was time for them to be released). It killed me to have to let them go though because they were tadpoles when we found them. I would have much rather had known they were being raised by people instead of fending for themselves in the wild.
hey, I currently have an American toad, he is fat and keeps getting bigger, there's gonna be a point where I can't take care of him if he's that big, do you know if there's anything I can do about this?
Hmmm I would try contacting a local pet shop to see if they'll take it. I don't know if I'd release it. I think my guys have lost some of their natural instincts lol. Good luck!
Don't release it , I would look online for a Breeder, that might be interested in him .
Goodluck
@@wulves6509 thanks dude, you're amazing
Not really sure why you would say you can't take care of him if he's big. American toads don't really get that big. And the bigger they are, the less they eat. You need to feed them everyday when they're little but when they're big you can feed them a couple times a week and they'll be fine. If you're taking care of him now as a small toad you'll be able to care for him as a big toad.
They don't really get that big.I have mine in a ten gallon It's a big female And she is small
What do u feed him
crickets! and fruit flies cuz he's still small enough
My frog is all white. I think it’s Albino. Anyways.. it’s in a fish tank filled with full water for past 4 months and never came out of the tank.. I never knew frogs are basically fish.
I’m VERY curious as to what kind of frog you have and how the setup looks….. because most frogs prefer a mix of land and water. If you’d ever be willing to share through google drive, i’d love to give tips where i can. Plus a white frog sounds fascinating!
Is it still alive? And how big is it?
Yes it is! It’s alive and well still after having it for 2 months. Eats straight from the tongs.
I can tell he’s grown a little bit, at most an inch bigger/taller. It put on weight too, I can see it’s full belly sag more lol. Still a juvenile. Definitely grew though! (Despite being on the small side still)
just curious, how big of a tank do you need for a american toad???
10 gallons per toad
@@Godblesslaci thanks this is really helpful
