Pet toads are skinny?
My cane toads are really skinny, and idk what to do. I feed them around 4 beetles every night but idk who eats them because they only eat at night, and when I'm not around. I rarely see them moving around either, they're afraid of me, they act like they were wild caught maybe. Also I don't have a ton of money to spend on getting a lot of bugs for them, so I'm not sure what to do to get them healthier. Any helpful tips would be great, thank you!

When I kept a lot of insect predators, I raised my own feeder insects. Dubia roaches are not too expensive to start a colony, neither are crickets.
Your toads may eat 4 beetles each at one sitting, so likely just need more food.
Either way, you are going to have to come up with plenty of bugs for them.
A half dozen mated darkling beetles can give you 500 meal worms, if not more, but that take a few weeks with beetles in hand.
