Can wild-caught Toads live in captivity?

Long story short, I'm moving in a week and have been feeding several BIG toads around our house for the past year or so. They are always waiting for me every night by the front door for their food.

My fear is that the next people who move in will kill them (lets be honest most people hate toads) and I don't like moving not knowing what will happen to them.

I could pretty easily collect them up (they do run if you get close enough, but they're slow and easy to catch) and get them started in a 30 gallon long (or whatever might be necessary)

Of course I'd prefer to just leave them as I have enough work with my snakes, but if it's going to save their lives then I can't just leave them here.



So does anyone know how well wild-caught adult toads fare in captivity? (Especially as far as accepting food,etc.) Not looking to make pets out of these guys, but rather just simply offer them some place to live for the rest of their lives.
