Well developed common toad tadpoles (cb2026 ) 
These tadpoles are well developed and have their 4 legs and are starting to absorb their tail, they will be fully terrestrial toadlets in around a week, once they lose their tail toadlets aren't great swimmers so a terrestrial set up with a small water dish is best.
Captive care 
Common toads are easy to care for in captivity, they are mostly terrestrial but a water container large enough for them to fully submerge is important ,a natural set up is best with a substrate of soil or coconut coir , lots of plants and moss ,some rocks or wood is also beneficial, we keep our amphibians in bioactive setups with lots of worms ,springtails ,woodlice and other insects living the soil ,these as well as helping keep the enclosures clean also provide a natural food source for the toads.
Feeding 🐛 
Common toadlets will eat a wide range of foods 
Almost any standard insects foods are suitable for them small foods are essential 
Hatchling/ size 1 Crickets 
Micro Mealworm
Micro waxworms
White worm 
Fruit flies
Aphids 
Spring tails
While commonly stated toads will eat snails and slugs these don't tend to be preferred. 
As with all amphibians and reptiles in captivity common toads require a calcium supplement in there diet ( dusted over there food ) to avoid getting metabolic bone disease ( MBD ) ,a supplement with both calcium and additional nutrients is best ,we use arkvits but there's many different suitable brands ,foods like calci worm and isopods are also an excellent source of natural calcium for toads
Lighting 💡 
UVB lighting is required for common frogs in captivity, UVB light facilitates the synthesis of Vitamin D3 in many reptiles and amphibians, which is crucial for calcium absorption, in the wild they will naturally bask in the sun and we see in our own toads they spend considerably time basking under the UVB light ,a 5% UVB is sufficient for them.
Tank mates 
While it's disputed by amphibian keepers if different species should be kept together ,there are some species that make suitable companions for the common toad, similar species like the European green toad or midwife toad provided there of similar size and the enclosure is large enough for them to have there own space , these species are all found together in many parts of Europe , common froys are also suitable tank mates, they are almost always found together in the wild in very close proximity and will sometimes even hibernate together, just because  certain species live together in the wild or in similar environments doesn't always mean there suitable to keep together in captivity but in this case both species do really well together and we've never had any problems in keeping them this way.
There are many different methods of keeping amphibians in captivity and different keepers and breeders have their own methods ,our advice is based on our own experience and what we've had the most success with in our own animals.
