Wyoming toads were kept in 45 L (10 gallon) glass aquariums with a 25 cm (1") thick sponge mat and a cork bark
slab for shelter or basking. Standard fluorescent lights were provided for the aquarium and set on a timer to simulate
natural day light hours, and a water tray (10 cm diameter × 2 cm depth) was placed at one end. Tanks and sponge mats were cleaned daily. Four female or six male toads were housed per aquarium and offered a range offood items including mealworms, wax-worms and crickets. The crickets were dusted with Reptivite© powder to provide a variety of vitamins and minerals.
