Thanks for the tips guys. I came up with another solution though, I added more water so one of the rocks has just a small dry area. Then I cut a small cricket size hole in the screen lid right above this area on the rock. I remove the crickets jumping legs and put them in one at a time, they can't jump away and are surrounded by water and stranded, by the time the crickets have decided to just crawl into the water the toads have seen them and its all over!



I'm going to start feeding them by impaling food on a broom straw and dangling it in front of them, then they'll become tamer.



Silkworms here are $1 each, and too big for my toads. If I could afford to I'd breed them, but I can't so I'll stick to crickets.
