I am interested in taking care of a Bufo Alvarius toad and read up on this rare species of amphibian and read on a care sheet for the toad but it dosent go into specifics with feeding a Bufo Alvarius it just states how to do it and not how often to do it. I plan on maybe mainly feeding it crickets gut loaded with things like calcium but I tried to find out on when to feed it but cant find anything. So please help.
Colorado River Toad : Bufo Alvarius
I used to have a pair of these, all my friends enjoyed there "company".
They need a broad spectrum of food. Crickets, flies, we even got mine to eat wax worms and grasshoppers.
You want to watch yours, every ones different on when and how much the eat. I tried to always have something in the terrarium for them to eat, as they are opportunistic hunters.
Mine would roughly eat (each)
3-6 crickets
1-2 wax worms
And SEVERAL flies
They are fairly tough to breed though, you have to mimic the season changes pretty closely.
