    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    Another update. I have a dynatrap bug catcher and it collects a lot of June bugs. Beetles must be something she was used to eating as she goes nuts for them! I caught a couple dozen one night and she...

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    Another update. She ate one of my male wide horn hissers today. I was shocked - these are not regular hissers but the largest hisser species I know of. Figured it was worth a shot since the males are...

    Her new pose now, over the food bowl! I also took a slow motion video but doubt it will come across. She now will eat adult dubia.

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    I went ahead and placed an order from some small and medium dubias from there. Might as well beef the colony up.

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    Thanks!!! I will check them out for sure. I have a large colony of dubia and wide horn hissers in a 29g for a few years, but it's a good idea to supplement the colony before I collapse it from taking...

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    Update time. I did force feed her a bit last week as it had been the vet's recommendation as the maximum time, it was just a small amount though. There has been a bowl in her enclosure the entire...

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    I forgot to say, I am leaving her alone after that last trip to the vet yesterday and put superworms in a bowl. Per the vet's suggestions I raised temp to 80, her hide stays a bit cooler, and have...

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    Off the antibiotics now. Still some swelling so brought her in for a follow up. The vet said no charge for follow ups which blew my mind. I even protested a bit, ha! Just seems like can’t take up...

    Re: New Huge Cane Toad

    It's very possible, although she does now come out at night to sit in her waterbowl sometimes so she will come out that far at least. Before she was sick I tried keeping her in a smaller frosted...
