A toad is any of a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura characterized by dry, leathery skin, brown coloration, and wart-like parotoid glands. A distinction between frogs and toads, though common in popular culture, is not made in taxonomy, where toads are spread across families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae. The characteristic features of toads are a result of convergent evolution in dry habitats.

Toads cannot transmit warts to people through handling or skin contact. The bumps on a toad's skin help the animal blend into its environment visually by breaking up its outline. They are present on healthy specimens and are not a result of infection.

One example of a "toad", Bufo fowleri.

A. it depends on if it is an adult or if it is young. you should probly put in about 7 and let him/her hunt them.(this will also help if you dont have time to feed) make a place for the crickets to hide also. they will come out when they need food and they can also breed to make more. but if u want to feed them every day i would suggest 3. also mealworms make a great diet for toads =)
