Asian common toads are quite veracious predators and will eat anything that will fit into their giant mouths. Asian common toads are not picky eaters and must fed a lot of different types of insects and mollusks. Don't give asian common toads a lot of rodents or it will get fat!

Chinese bullfrog

The chubby frog is a round small anuran endemic to southeast asia. Adolescents become adults when they are about 2-3 inches in length. Because of being common in their range, all captive specimens are wild caught. When choosing an asian painted frog make sure it does not have the following symptoms: low weight or obese, cloudy eyes, open wounds, and is not behaving correctly. A normal chubby frog will hide only if there is food in the enclosure. The chubby frog will tolerate almost any insect frog crickets to mealworms. Crickets are the main insect in their diet. Feed the chubby frog about six crickets and feed it at least three days a week.

Chinese praying mantis

Chinese mantids eat insects mostly, except some females were recorded to capture small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and some times even hummingbirds. The chinese mantis is also very cannibalistic. A female are capable of producing at least 7 ootheca or egg sacs that hold at least 300 eggs. The ootheca are placed on vegetation.
