We had a dog who went after toads. Picked them up in his mouth, didn't hurt them, dropped them, barfed his guts out all night long, ok in the morning.

Anyone out there remember the LA Law segment on the Australian toads???

Previous poster on keeping black widow in a terrarium. I would do it if it could be done safely. The biology department had one when I was in school. It was really interesting. Just another being trying to make its way on this earth.
The kitten is fine, he was just tapping at it with his foot. I happened to see it before it became a toy or snack. Jenn
