i bought crickets for my fire belly toad but they cant catch them Help

Food: Gut-packed and dusted crickets, earthworms, waxworms, mealworms.

Lifespan: 15 to 20 years

Special Needs/Habits: Slightly toxic, should not be handled often. Wash hands before and after. Water must be dechlorinated, should have a filter.

SPECIES:

Probably one of the most common and popularly kept toads of the day. Undemanding and amusing. An ideal introduction to the hobby and only the Axolotl is an easier Amphibian to keep (Nothing is less demanding than an Axolotl.) But as beginners toads go these are a natural choice.

DISTRIBUTION: Siberia to China, where they inhabit mountain streams.

HOUSING: One of the most aquatic toads, they spend a great deal of the time floating about on the surface and will hop into it the moment they fell disturbed or threatened. The tank set up should reflect this pattern of behaviour with a good section of both land and water. Two types of land are most suitable; a) a slab of foam b) a container sunk to the level of the water surface pierced around the bottom to allow water flow and filled with pea gravel. No form of soil or bark chippings should be used or pieces sticking to the toad's skin will spoil the water. A two-foot tank is ideal for two to three pairs of toads. If you prefer the more laboratory approach, a wall brick set against the foam will give the toads a point of egress from the water and you need only siphon and detritus from the water and rinse out the foam as required. A more natural set up should be provided with an undergravel filter upon which the box of gravel may safely be rested. Water weeds can be included eg. Elodea and floating 'duckweed' types may appeal to yourself and your toads. I know of one tank provided with a plastic bonsai tree and the toads delighted in climbing about in that. Hiding places may or may not be provided on whatever land is provided. Half flower pots really add little to the aesthetic appeal of a natural tank where perhaps suitably convex sections of bark may be better. The land area may be as much as half the tank area or as little as a platform where the toads may congregate. No form of heating is necessary and any fluorescent lighting, purely a matter of taste. While basically nocturnal, these toads will be found to be quite adaptable.
