What food items have you offered? People talk about what eating machines they are, because there are so many things that SOME cane toad, somewhere, will happily devour, but many of them have distinct likes and dislikes. Mine won't touch earthworms, for example. Your toad has had hundreds if not thousands of prey species in the wild to pick and choose from; you might have to go through a dozen or so to find something that it likes. Have you tried big green hornworms? Have you tried a bowl of silkworms? I don't have frequent access to silkworms unless I want the apartment neighbors to catch me getting bugs in the mail, but when I found them at an expo my toad ate about a million a night for as long as I had them. Have you tried giant roaches? I use death heads as a staple, but I'm sure discoids would be at least as good. One guy here even had one that wouldn't take anything except beetles for a long time, although hopefully you'll find a healthier option. ----- 0.1 Coastal Carpet Python (Boots) 0.1 Western Hognose Snake (Bebe) 0.1 Cane Toad (Hengo) 0.1 White-Banded Sheen Skink (Minerva) 1.0 Northern Diamondback Terrapin (Queequeg)
