Its me again with some food question

toads have toxic skin secretions, may not kill most animals but can cause a bad taste or make them sick. im not really an expert here but i wouldnt try it. only a few animals are able to eat toads because of this. around here in MO the only think i know of that eats them are hognose snakes.

also could give him a parasite b/c im sure the amphibian you are asking about is wild caught.

If you look at forum member "nosferatu" gallery, there are some AMAZING pictures of a veiled Chameleon eating a hummingbird! Sad for bird lovers ( like me:( ), but amazing all the same.

Just a note for anyone reading, It wasnt FED the bird, it was outside and CAUGHT the bird. Be wary of feeding anything asside from insects.
 
I work in a large pet supply store in the reptile room and we have had large veileds and a panther eat loose anoles that wonder into their cage while chasing loose crickets. It was a quite a sight to say the least. Although I would not recommend it to anyone due to the possible parasite/disease transfer that could take place.
