    Default Video of my toad Spyder eating his shedding skin!

    I thought it was really cool to catch this on camera and I thought I should share

    That's funny. My WTF eats his skin as well - somebody here on the forum had mentioned that it is good for them - contains vitamins, etc. Good capture!

    Thank you! It scared me at first because he was standing up like he does when he's scared of something; I thought he was choking on something, but then I saw him reach over and pull some of the skin off of his shoulder.

    No worries! Frogs eating skin is quite normal. Often times it becomes the frog's first meal especially if it has been hibernating for a while.
