I've seen the toe wiggle in my Pac man frog....do toads commonly do this as well?
My litte american toad went hunting last night for some crix and at one point one of his back toes just started jiggling like crazy.

I think it's very common among most forgs/toads. My Christmas Toads to it all the time too, as did my Loepard frogs

American toads often get that unrestrainable toe wiggling much like a cat's tail twitches when they are stalking something.

Most of my american toads do it to, esp. the females.
One note of caution, a friend of mine who also has toads that were having convulsion or seizure like symptoms. Just about every muscle in their body was twitching with server toe wiggling. It turned out to be a calcium deficiency. The problem went away with in an hour of getting calcium.
