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.
how do you train them? Like a dog? Click and then feed a cricket or something lol?
@@CHLOCHLOLP aha it's the dark lord. i am frog. ribbit
Wow!! That's patience.. I do need more that!
Those little dudes are adorable and I love having them!I have a baby female American toad..she’s tried to eat worms 10x as big as her. She’s adorable and I find them interesting too!

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.
It might've been a mutation...like pollution
I also have a toad that is missing an eye, it is completely healed if it was an injury, but I suspect that he was born with it. My other one is also half blind, he has both eyes but his right eye is missing an iris. They are both pretty slow at catching their food because of it, the one that is missing an eye always hops in circles around his pray before he goes for the kill, it's cute, but I know that he is just readjusting to see his food.
@@coveym5902 awwwh!!! 😥
Aww same found one a month a go but it wasn’t a toadlet we now have three a one eyed toad a toadlet and female toad
There name are
Wilbert\One eyed toad
Pirtrisha/Toadlet
Patrick/Female Toad We are gonna build a paludarium for um
I found a Colorado river toad last night with a crazy eye.. I'm Gunna adopt her and make sure life is good for her... She was about to become lube on the street
I just rescued a toad yesterday, she has only three legs and she can’t catch food easily, her name is now Teddy.
Once I had a toad with only one eye and I fed her and kept her
Omg I have a toad with a missing leg! His names stumpy😅
Aww thats sad,Ones i found a frog with one eye and I keep him outside and helped him but he died😫🔫
I saved a toad Because the toad was on the road and i helped it to get to the grass 🐸🐸🥺🥺😍😍
Same mine is called Lily!!!
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.
THATS THE COOLEST THING EVER
*toad farm*
Please make a video! That sounds wonderful!
Ugh I would LOVE this… but my chickens( who are also my babies) would totally eat the toads : ( Would love to see pics of your setup!!!
Donald Thompson I want to see your toad enclosure. I've been thinking about something similar, and need ideas. Plus need to find a husband who thinks this is a great idea. Lol
This channel is fun and educational both at the same time and I’m loving it
Thalia King ya you are correct
Totally this is my new fav channel
Like McDonald’s
I’m lovin’ it

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!!!!
Hey it's been a year did she get it and if so how's it going
Update?
We WANT A UPDATE PLZZZ
Toads are great! They're adorable, smart, and friendly! Seriously, my toad followed my laser dot once. I'd call that pretty smart.
Can we please have an update??
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
ME TOOOOO
She also reached for the crossword puzzle lmao
Lol, while way smarter than frogs in my experience I think they might be illiterate ;) Frogs have taken 3 foot belly flops on concrete while I used to be able to hold my Toads on the my palm and aim and fire on spiders and caddisfly's on the siding.
same
Thanks for making this video😊
“...they’re curious, they use all of their enclosure space...”
My toad: *sits buried under his hide*
Put up a camera at night and drop some bugs in.
I was 100th like
Mine hides too
Both of mine try to get out, even thought they are babys and have a huge 3 square feet terrarium 😂
😂
This is a great video. It deserves more love!
Hi
Clint's Reptiles She's married. Stop being thirsty! You look like Paulie Shore on meth.
I have a wild toad outside and when it floods the toad just goes to another hole
Yeah!
When u tried to put toad in
Toad:U thwart me I thwart u!!!!
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
i love my toad yes same
That's so cute I have to know what did you name them
I named her Betty Jean after one of my favourite songs :)
My toad escaped :( To be fair, it was outside in an uncovered tub and just transitioned into a young toad after being a tadpole
Mine just died:( he was my best friend 😭💔
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.
These toads brought back some good memories from my childhood! I used to love catching and handling the toads in my backyard every spring.
Same :)
i'm a 10 year old girl and always try catch wild animals, fish, spiders, frogs, toads even sometimes newts! :D (i of course release them after) and everyone in my class thinks i'm weird cause of it :P
Tune Games They don’t know the definition of weird, then. It’s normal for a kid to be interested in wildlife and get a close look at things. Just enjoy the fun times while you can!
I have a million in my backyard lol! My dog goes out there and chases them every day!
when i was younger i would do the exact same thing during field trips or family vacations. I was always the kid that dealt with whatever spider or creature that ended up in the classroom and i was also called the weird kid.
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...
They're intelligent! they just don't like to show it as much :p
A local collage has a huge pond. Every year there are millions of babies it seems like. Most of them die anyways so I dont see a problem with grabbing a couple. Most you can buy online are wildcaught
I got one today next to a river there was a lot of baby ones and they were easy to catch they are great pets and they really are easy to take care of so I think it would make a great pet for anyone
i caught one and im doing this rn
@@Anna-tc6rz was the collage ruined because of the water? 🤔🤔
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!
Is it still alive ?
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 still don't get why RUclips has stopped you from feed my pet Friday eating is a natural! There is RUclips kids now
I used it and I could access non kid-friendly stuff
RubyTheDragon you can access *wOnkY AnD KiNky* stuff, but since they have Elsa and Disney princesses in the title they’re perfectly fine. Also, tons of kids stuff is brain melting.
That is why the little kids should have RUclips Kids. Also, if the parent doesn't want them to watch it, then don't let them!
@Alaina Morrissey then they don't have to click on the video, they have a choice.
I went to a zoo and saw two Komodo dragons DESTROY a (dead) piglet, the kids there absolutely loved it lol. Kids are tougher than they seem.
I'm having a hard time paying attention to her because of the toads talking.....
Exuse me, talkin?
Katie Mortensen they mean croking
Evelyn Heigis I love toads too my favourite is the milk frog
Me too
Me to
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. ^^
I recently began rehabilitating an injured toad and this video was suuuper helpful, ty!
Emily: "Dont eat your brother, that's rude."
Me: Gee, I wish I knew that sooner...
Ñįňï ĐŘĄWŚ WHAT
Hol up

The way you keep grabbing the runaway toads makes me so happy. Its so adorable and cute!
Mine like to climb down my shirt -_-
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!
Do you still have her?
@@SolidRebeI I do! She’s a chonky lady and is pretty fond of handling at this point :D
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!
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!
Thank you so much!!

Snake Discovery can you please make a video on your alligator and how you own it
She has several!
Dear parents:
TOADS DO NOT GIVE YOU WARTS AND NEVER LICK THE TOADS BACK.
No you cannot stop me from using pet toads as halucinogen.
@@flame1949 Don´t worry, I will let the shaman extract the DMT from toad.
Michal Viktorin well then if it ever escapes (I find that over the years I’ve raised toads that the more hyper ones which are smaller are little escape artists.) You’ll be killing not only the toad but another animal too, if it escapes and gets outside then it can get eaten and cause another animal to think it is safe to eat them thus causing them to eat probably a few toads.
Warriorkitti Animates Do you hear that plane sound? That’s the joke flying over your head.
Dusty Honey I know it was a joke I just get annoyed at jokes like that :/
Thanks, I am going to try and rescue a little toad in my back yard. She was born with one floppy back leg. For now I am giving her a little corner of my garden.
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!
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!

I laughed so hard XD
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.
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!!!)
“Wheres da food?” 😂
Rajaceratops toad want food
Stomp stomp No food ?
Rajaceratops as soon i saw that I saw this
Foiled again

Also the creamy peanut butter the peanut butter I have
Nice
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
I just got a toad yesterday and I love him
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 have 2 toads and they are very fond of each other. They also submerge facing each other. Im glad i caught two the same size. They're very happy in they're 20 gallon
Of course toads have feelings.
@@carschmn i let them free roam when I'm playing video games, they hunt bugs because i live on the ground leave. I even had a 3rd toad come to visit because i forgit to close the garage door
i'm so sorry you lost your toads, fluffy. i hope you can get more one day.
Have one toad he's to angry to have friends. He's three and a half.
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
Are you sure you don’t have an African dwarf frog?
They do need light and heat. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about and you weren’t using the right bulbs if they were exploding
@@strangerthings88 Why would toads need an external heat source and supplementary lighting?
@@sprout5606 room temperature being 70 degrees is really hard for most people especially all the way up to 75. Most people keep their house around mid to high 60s
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.
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
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.
If you dont keep them, *don't release them back into the wild* they can introduce diseases into the wild...
“Don’t eat your brother! That’s rude!” Sibling rivalry at its finest.
WAT DID YOU DO TO GEORGE!?
Yep
Fb VM half you x❤️👏🏻
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.
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

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.
My cat brought be a frog once, we don't even have any ponds or body of water near. Still, he was so proud of himself .
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 !!
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!
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.
Yeah a lot of states have interesting amphibian laws. Like for mole salamanders, it depends on the state because in some states the native species isn't allowed to be kept while it's flipped in other states. I think it's mostly done to encourage people not to take from the wild and reduce native populations. But it's also frustrating because you just know people are releasing their unwanted amphibians to the wild. That last bit is why in California you can't have any species of ambystoma, they're really concerned about interbreeding between non-native tigers and the native California Tiger which is endangered. Laws man... haha
ktkat218 They want the invasive ones out of the wild
Margaret what I meant was that I can get species that are invasive or have the potential to become invasive from pet stores, but I get your point
Well yes, of course. But by allowing the invasives as pets means more could enter the wild through the pet trade, which is what I'm frustrated about. By allowing invasives in as pets and natives out there's a higher chance that those invasives could be dumped into the wild.
But on the flip side, by allowing native species as pets it could encourage more wild caught animals to end up in the pet trade. So there's not really a good win/win scenario. Besides like, buying from a breeder. Still doesn't solve the problem if you buy from a breeder and the species is native to your state and you have laws banning the possession of native species as pets, then you're stuck with your only option to buy non native captive breds.
Also if you're looking for a pet, even a wild caught invasive might not be possible. Some states have laws that require you to kill any invasive you catch or trap and you cannot take it home or transport it alive.
ktkat218 we have the same thing in Alberta, Canada. No bullsnakes, western or eastern hognoses, tiger salamanders. There are a few more.
I love that your talking and the frogs are jumping away
Toads.
They’re toading around being toads
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
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!!!
The edits in this video is actually so nice holy moly
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!
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. ❤
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!
It's 6:08 am in Silverton Oregon. I'm having coffee and watching this.
Good start into the day i´d say :D
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.
Loved it. So relaxing to hear you talk about animals!
Hey snake descovery i know you wont see this but this is a life saver i reacently rescued 3 baby toads in a pool 3 out of the 8 5 drowned in the pool due to either the poop pump or just the chemicals iv taken them into my care for the time being and slowly falling inlove this helps so so much thank you
I love how she keeps talking as her toad is about to leap off the table lol
My brother just caught a toad and is keeping it. Was looking a video like this up last night! Perfect timing 😊
Just make sure it’s not a female
@@neight8077 why not?
You shouldn't take animals from the wild. It's mean to the animal
@@michellethomas6557 my local museum has wild caught specimens for educational purposes
I live in a very urban environment and I managed to see/save to lil babys they had to of just lost their tail it's been a year and jumbo and sandy are doing very well they are super tame and love to wander around I love the lil guys
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!
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.
Lovvveeeeee Snake Discovery!!!!!! I was binging old episodes when I saw this :) yay!!!
Chloe Mae, they are videos, not episodes. 🤦🏼♀️
Janna T. Whoops, my bad, kinda the same thing if y'all are binge watching though ;) kinda like a tv show or series. You get to watch Emily and her animals grow and develop together :) that's what I mean
IV loved toads since I was little, their grumpy faces make me smile.
I just found my new favorite channel!! This video is so pure, it makes me very happy :))
Her: happy little
Bob Ross appears
Me: *cri cri cri*
wtf
Stop it and get som help
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.
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.
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.
How is your toad doing ?
Yay a new video i recently discovered you channel and really enjoy videos keep up the great work
The frogs head turn and the caption "I can eats YOU" left me ded 😂😂😂😂😂
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
I LOVE THE EXTRA COMMENTARY FROM THE TOADS POV!
TOADLETTES ARE THE CUTEST THINGS IVE EVER SEEN oh my god
7:23 AWWW I love how the toad on the left is standing up like that lmao so cute
Fundamentalism 💀😈
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!!
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! :)
My toad absolutely loves sphagnum moss, she’s obsessed with it😂
Don’t eat your brother! That’s rude!
Very rude

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
Thank you so much! My pair of toadlets will be so much happier for all this thorough information
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
Who here is hiding a toad from your parents lol
Edit: My toad's name was Prince Naveen, amd he was in love with Disney, he really liked the Lion King. My sister let him go in our graden because he didnt have the proper food or space :(

Same problem with my toad
Sorry for your loss. I’m gonna hide a toad from my parents.

I’m thinking about buying a plastic bin cage at 100 quarts for my wild caught toads as I need to upgrade my older one and this video really helped guiding me to set up a cage ❤️
Thank you
Bro no. Just no. Leave wild toads in the wild. They did nothing to you why you gotta swoop in and take them from their home?
@@turbofart101 did you even watch the video
@@magix33 probably not fully no. But that wasn't what this coment was about
@@turbofart101 okay well like the video and others mentioned taking in the younger ones from the wild gives them a higher chance of actually living since tiny toads are more likely to be preyed upon
@@magix33 ok again just because one person said that in a video dosent make it true.
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
I have common uk toads, very similar in size and looks to American toads, i have had them from spawn, i released all but 2 when the tadpoles turned into toads. Very easy to keep and i can watch them for hours.
Great video! Super informative, as always 😉
I wanted to have a pet snake but I don't have any stuff for it .....
Roslyn Baldonado If you really do your research, you’ll find that snakes are actually very inexpensive and convenient to supply for. If your getting a reasonably sized ground dwelling snake, like ball pythons, in my opinion it is perfectly fine to keep them in a large bin, similar to the one she houses the toads in, with aspen or cypress bedding. Give them a constant supply of water, and, especially when in shed, a humidity box. You can use a heat pack that connects to some sort of thermostat under the bedding to keep warm. You will also need to feed frozen thawed mice pups when the snake is young and slowly transition into larger mice, small rats, etc as it gets larger. If you don’t want to feed mice, you can get an egg eating snake, which eat finch and quail eggs, just make sure you have a source where you can consistently get them from. Hope this is helpful!
Lex Bell thx!
Roslyn Baldonado Np, just remember, I’m not an expert, it’s important to do your own research before making any commitments 😉
Lex Bell ok! Thx again!!
"Dont eat your brother... thats rude" XD
I am I taking care of tadpoles at the moment and was wondering what the requirements are for when they get older and this video helped a lot, thank you.
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.
Cool 📹 video
Would it be worth putting "clean up crew" insects like springtails in their habitat to help keep it clean?
I would suggest pillbugs. They decompose the poop and any organic material. They also serve as calcium rich food!
@@quindixie6867 they can eat pill bugs?
@@ah5721 i wouldnt see why not, but the problem would be in the enclosure, If there are a lot of them on the surface the toads would eat alot of them and get sick from it. and from what i look up, pillbugs dont burrow. They're fine every once in a while, but toads will eat anythinig lol
Spring tails would be better than pill bugs
