Like frogs, most toads eat insects and other arthropods. However, some species eat reptiles, small mammals, and even other amphibians. Each species of toad has a unique call.

What can you feed a toad?

Toads will eat most insects and prey they find in your garden. It is safe to feed toads crickets, flies, spiders and worms. Tadpoles and juveniles eat every day compared to adults who eat three times a week. They should not be fed seasoned meat, salt, sugar, processed food or pesticides.

What can I feed toads at home?

A well-balanced toad diet includes recently fed crickets, waxworms, and mealworms. Your toad's age will determine how often you feed him. If you have a young juvenile toad, you should feed him everyday. If you have an adult toad you should plan to feed him two to three times a week.
