I have an eastern. Naturally, it only (and rightly) eats amphibians. When regular toads and frogs are unavailable, is it safe to feed fire-bellies, or are they too toxic even for our little toad-digesters?

It's been a long time since I've been on here. Good to see it's still around.

Thanks!

I think it would be a bad idea... Even though hogs can eat semi toxic toads native to their ranges I do not think they would fare well injesting an exotic semi toxic toad...

I would advise against doing so...

I wouldn't use anything other than frogs and toads indigenous to the US.

You're both undoubtedly right. That's what I suspected, but just wanted to verify-- they're always available and are cheap. Clawed frogs seem to work OK, though. I guess I'll just have to go froggin'.
