Sick Toad
Hi guys! It's been a while since I've posted on the forum, but I need your help. My one toad, Lola, which I'm sure a lot of you know has been acting strange for the past day. She has been staying in her hide, and uses her head to butt my fingers when I try to touch her. She refused food yesterday, she was even scared of it, so I let her be. Today, I put a worm in front of her, she was interested, bit at it and missed, and then retreated back into her hide. 15 minutes later I gently moved her into the middle of the tank, and tried to feed her a calcium dusted worm, but once again and refused and retreated to her hide. I'm not sure what to do, and I've had her for about four years.

It is possible your frog maybe preparing for winter. If it looks healthy and shows no signs of illness or injury, then let it be. Continue to offer food, you may want to cool down the temperature a little.

That's what I thought, but she is very aggressive towards being touched, and will use her head to ram my fingers. Also, she sits with hey head down, and whenever I walk past her tank, it looks as if she's dead. But, maybe you're right. Her eyes aren't cloudy, and I checked for red leg.

UPDATE:
She's okay, now and is eating.
