I'm 71 y.o. and have had a toad or two during my whole life along with lots of other reptiles and amphibians. I find them very interesting to have. I have even trained two of them to come when called with a clicker.

This is a great video. It deserves more love!

I have a Toad enclosure in my backyard with Toad houses and a small pond and vegetation, it's high enough where nobody can get in but the Toads can come and go as they please. They are soo cute, I love watching them and having them in my yard.

“...they’re curious, they use all of their enclosure space...” My toad: *sits buried under his hide*

I recently found a Toadlet with a injured/missing eye. He now has a large enclosure where his injury and lack of vision in one eye won't be an issue.

My granddaughter wants a toad for her birthday. Thank you for all this information. I will let her see it so she knows what she is getting into and if she still wants to have one!!!!

When Emily said enrichment for the toads I saw the crossword book in the background and though she had some genius toads for a second. Lol

I just rescued a toad yesterday, she has only three legs and she can’t catch food easily, her name is now Teddy.

god i love toads so much edit: idk if y'all could tell but i got myself a toad and she is the pride and joy of my life

These toads brought back some good memories from my childhood! I used to love catching and handling the toads in my backyard every spring.

Did it break anyone else’s heart when she said “Go on! Please? Love it.

I was camping a few days ago with the fire going when a toadlet jumped into the fire pit and couldn't get out. He was jumping all over the place trying to escape the heat and ran under a burning log at one point. I dove in and scooped him out of the ashes and took him home to make sure he was ok. Luckily I have dart frogs so I had fruit flies ready. The little dude is doing fine now and is growing nicely.

This channel is fun and educational both at the same time and I’m loving it

This makes me want to go find a baby toad...I'm in love! Their lack of untelligence is just adorable! My goodness...I have a feeling I'll need a higher paying job with all the reptiles, birds, and dogs I want...

Thank you! I just found a three legged toad in the wild and the poor thing could barely even walk. I couldn’t leave her but wasn’t sure if it was legal to take them from the wild or how to take care of them, this helps a lot!

I love toads and frogs. In the summer I love finding toads outside my front door. We had a few toads that lived under the deck at my mom's house when I was younger. We'd always see them hanging out right outside the door. We'd play with them for a little while, then release them and they never went very far. They're so cute. ^^

Emily: "Dont eat your brother, that's rude." Me: Gee, I wish I knew that sooner...

The way you keep grabbing the runaway toads makes me so happy. Its so adorable and cute!

Thank you so much, I caught a small toad that's been hanging around my house for the past week and was dying to snag her as a pet and learning how easy to care for they are and that wild caught toads are able to be kept in captivity I'll probably keep her! I have a bearded dragon and he's pretty big so the smaller insects he usually doesnt care for would be perfect food for her!

This was very useful! Thank you so much! I recently (about a month or two ago) caught a small (almost certainly) female toad, and she is VERY young. When we I caught her she was under an inch, and thanks to you and a couple other people, I have been able to take care of her. She hasn't grown much yet, (she is now about an inch or a little bit above) but she will hopefully live a long and happy life! (I read that they can live up to 50 years in captivity!!!)

I'm having a hard time paying attention to her because of the toads talking.....

They're so cute!! I love how the light one creeps along and the darker one sits up and checks everything out. Toad: Hey, we isn't dumb!

Lol !! My daughter "saved" a bb toad from being hit by a golf cart at our camping and ... here I am, proud owner!! I have to admit the first month and half was hard, as several pet store told me it was way too small to be fed cricket and would most likely die ... so after a couple of orange 🍊 and fruit flies all around my kitchen, Lolly is now big enough for crickets!!! The girl at the pet store was so chocked to see me back, she told me ; I never thought that you'd make it (it's our first one), so now lolly is nice and healthy, very happy, and I actually really enjoy watching her chasing cricket, I actually think that she recognize me because she comes everytime I go close to her terrarium and I swear she's (or he) is looking at me !!

I just found a 1/2" toad in my entrance way. Very unusual as it's a very dark almost chocolate brown with orange highlights. I haven't kept one since I was a kid but I think I'll try keeping this little guy at least over the winter. Great video and I learned a lot!

“Wheres da food?” 😂

I still don't get why KZfaq has stopped you from feed my pet Friday eating is a natural! There is KZfaq kids now

Thank you for this! My husband brought home a toad to show the kids and we decided to keep it. I've never had a toad before so I am glad for the info

I had fire bellied toads years ago, and I used an aquarium with an aquarium lid and built in light. Worked perfect! Especially for humidity!

Dear parents: TOADS DO NOT GIVE YOU WARTS AND NEVER LICK THE TOADS BACK.

Just want to say that you're doing an AMAZING job and this channel is blowing up! 4,095k average subs a day and 122.8k a month! You absolutely deserve it!

Your video was incredibly informative and answered many questions that I had about lighting, ventilation and feeding. One of the most useful facts I will take away though is regarding chlorinated water and in the future I will use rain water to spray the plants in the vivarium. Many thanks and well done !!

I recently began rehabilitating an injured toad and this video was suuuper helpful, ty!

9:07 there is a sneaky little pickle Rick in the toaster if you look closely 😊

"Don't eat your brother, that's rude!" -Emily, 2018

So cute! Thank you so much for the advice! I'm glad you mentioned where to get your toads. They seem affordable too. ... Can't wait!

I've been thinking about getting a toad for a couple years, and I finally found the one. Shes in a 10 gal for now, till I set up my 20 long as a bioactive vivarium for her. Thank you so much for your knowledge. She loves the burrow under the water dish. I would have never thought of that.

“Don’t eat your brother! That’s rude!” Sibling rivalry at its finest.

I had two toads. I had a male and a female. The female died after a couple of years after we got them. Before she died the male was eating a lot and and was really happy. But after she died he didn’t want to eat as often and he stopped moving around in his tank. I think that has some sort of separation anxiety. Or not maybe he’s just old. But maybe he does. I don’t even know if toads can have that. EDIT: i’m sad to say that my male just passed away yesterday. 😭😭

I'm getting a toad this summer and I'm super excited. I know a lot about them but I want to make sure I'm providing the best care I can for my toad friend.

Awwwwww lol- loved the dialogue boxes with your toads. I have two beautiful beefy ones in my back patio- its always fun watching them interact with my 6 mini poodles- they all like each other! :)

when I got my first toad in third grade, the pet store workers told us we needed and aquarium (plus aquarium stuff like filters) and on of those red heat lamps for the night time (the light bulbs would explode from time to time). Now thanks to this video we are finally going to get the right stuff idk how the toad hasn't drowned by now XD

Hey, thank you so much for this video! My friend and I have been wanting to keep toads for a long time. Last night, we were walking around his property when we spotted two American toads who were trapped in a well and extremely malnourished. They were weak from treading water for so long, and one of them is so skinny her body width is slightly thinner than that or her head. (These guys are usually way fat and live around my friend’s patio in gutter pipes and other little hides, feeding on bugs that swarm under the patio lights.) We currently have them housed in a 36”x18”x18” bin with holes drilled into the sides and a locking lid. They have mealworms and beetles dusted with multivitamin powder, Eco Earth to burrow in, a shallow dish with conditioned water, and a bark hide. We originally weren’t sure if we would keep them after we nursed them to health, but now we’re really considering keeping them and moving one of them into another 36”x18”x18” bin with the same commodities later.

I had a western toad quite a while back and I loved her, if I ever have the time and space I'm definitely getting one again.

Wonderful pets! My son and I discovered a dry Creek in the woods that was covered with hundreds of baby toads we brought some home and got them all set up feeding on fruit flies and they're doing great!

We have a pond in our backyard that wild toads (and the turtles from the neighborhood) visit every year to lay their eggs. We once took some tadpoles inside as turtle food, but she didn't eat them and so we had baby toads jumping around the living room a few weeks later. The cat loved it, I wasted an entire afternoon to catch them all.

A tiny baby toad is living in the ground cover I planted in a box. I live in an apartment and I have visions of this creature the size of my pinky tip getting shredded by the riding mower. I've decided he's coming in. I've watched your channel for years so I had actually set up the environment before watching and I did good. I have fungal gnats in the substrate and I see about a dozen inside the enclosure 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've got the treated water in the dish. He's so tiny it's a dish of tiny rocks and then water. I hope he thrives. Thanks for the resource. I knew you would have what I needed. Blessed be to the entire Snake Discovery family. ❤

Loved it. So relaxing to hear you talk about animals!

I love how she keeps talking as her toad is about to leap off the table lol

The edits in this video is actually so nice holy moly

Watched this video years ago and today I was surprised with a toad by my brother in law. Thank you for this video to help me get him a comfortable setup quickly

I just found my new favorite channel!! This video is so pure, it makes me very happy :))

Thank you! I've been wanting to get a toad but wasnt sure how to go about it. This came just in time. Thank you!

Meanwhile Indiana be like: You know all those native species that are harmless for you to keep? You can't keep those as pets. But things that are known to be invasive? You can keep those as pets.

You have helped me a lot with toads and recently my toad has died so I just wanted to say thank you for the help all these years

Good info, that was helpful. I just found a trapped toad and 2 frogs in my basement. It's too cold outside to release them now, so I guess we're roommates for a few months +. Releasing them this spring in a healthy ecosystem. Thanks!!!

Lovvveeeeee Snake Discovery!!!!!! I was binging old episodes when I saw this :) yay!!!

My brother just caught a toad and is keeping it. Was looking a video like this up last night! Perfect timing 😊

I love Animals and I am so happy you made it video because I just got a new Toad as a pet because they are easy pets to take care of

I just found a 3-legged toad from the wild and this video was really helpful for letting me know what I need to get for it!

Yay a new video i recently discovered you channel and really enjoy videos keep up the great work

Her: happy little Bob Ross appears Me: *cri cri cri*

Fascinating stuff! Never knew toads could be so interesting - thanks for the upload.

Every time I come across a toad outside while I’m walking around I’m so delighted. Something about them is so charming and adorable. I’d love to keep one as a pet

The frogs head turn and the caption "I can eats YOU" left me ded 😂😂😂😂😂

It's 6:08 am in Silverton Oregon. I'm having coffee and watching this.

This is such a great educational video! Answered all my questions!

Thank you so much I found this video extremely informative I just recently got a Canadian BC told myself so he's very tiny and his name is George and I don't know what to quite to do with them but I'm learning than this was a big help even the pet stores didn't know what to do so you are a lifesaver keep up the good work I like your channel I'm adding it

I love that your talking and the frogs are jumping away

7:23 AWWW I love how the toad on the left is standing up like that lmao so cute

A toad just moved into the flower pot next to my window and I’m thinking of taking care of them. Thanks for the advice!!

That was some awesome information! Thank you! This is all new to me, lol so much appreciated 😊

I know this isn't one of your more popular videos, but toads are my absolute favourite! Thank you so much for making this despite how your reptiles are the majority of your animals and are what bring in the views.

Caught one from the wild as a kid and kept it as a summer pet once! These little buggers are walking stomachs! Thankfully mine didn't get obese despite me being young and not fully knowing what I was doing, but well fed it certainly was. The thing I remember the most is how quickly (and how well) it tamed. The first week it acted like you'd expect a wild toad to, being afraid of me and trying to escape my hand whenever I tried to grab it. After about a week though it mellowed down to the point where it no longer fled from me at all, and would allow me to pick it up at will and even ate from my hand. I released it back in the forest by fall so it could find a spot to hibernate through winter. Now I know better than to take things from the wild of course, but I'd say if your only two choices are getting a wild one from your backyard or buying a wild caught one your pet store is selling... maybe its better to take it from the wild yourself than to spend your money to encourage a pet store which likely gets many of its animals from pet mills. Ethical pet stores are unfortunately not the norm, though there are good ones out there who even refuse to sell certain animals like kittens and puppies because they are so overly bred while shelters are crowded with them.

IV loved toads since I was little, their grumpy faces make me smile.

Thank you so much for this video!! :D I'm planning on getting some toads and I'm so excited!! Thank you for this amazing video! I hit that red button ;)

TOADLETTES ARE THE CUTEST THINGS IVE EVER SEEN oh my god

I really enjoyed this video. My son caught a toadlett 4-5 years ago. Her name is Tiny. She's far from tiny now. This past weekend we upgraded her to a 20 long tank and added in more rocks and hides. I am so amazed at how active she is now. I think in her 10 gallon she just was bored. Love all your videos.

Thank you so much! My pair of toadlets will be so much happier for all this thorough information

Thank you for the information, very nice set up and toad😊

I just got a toad yesterday and I love him

I used to loooove toads as pets I haven't had them in years though! I shall have to find more... also I watched the last like minute 30 times their so cute

I have three toads and this really helped thanks!!

It's monsoon season here in New Mexico and two nights in a row my sister has brought me a toad today she brought one in it really wanted to sit in my hand and not go out and be wild I'm so glad I found your video so that next time I find an overly friendly Little Toad I can have an enclosure setup

You’re doing great already 300,000 subscribers keep up the great work

My toad absolutely loves sphagnum moss, she’s obsessed with it😂

Thank you SO Much! This Is Really going to Make my Toad Super Happy :)

Thank you so much! This was amazing video that covered everything

Great video! Super informative, as always 😉

Would it be worth putting "clean up crew" insects like springtails in their habitat to help keep it clean?

This is going to be very helpful cause I found a toad a few weeks ago at my friend's barn that I am keeping as a pet so I needed to set up a tank REAL SOON.

Great video! Super informative, thanks!

"Dont eat your brother... thats rude" XD

Don’t eat your brother! That’s rude!

Another great video. Keep up the good content. Not enough info is out there on the common American toad. Total win on this one!!!

This was very informative and helpful! Thank you!

Bob Ross!!!!!!!!!

My friend found a toad today in college, he was almost dead and completely dried up and could barely move, I've been rehydrating him and I'm taking him home where I have the supplies to take care of him and nurse him back to health.

You all have earned yourselves a little treasure. Aghanim the Deserving has earned himself the joy of watching you all leap hither and yon atop dragontoads.

This is super helpful! Thank you!
