My newest toad just started a strange behavior yesterday and I'm worried.
I noticed him wiping at his face and opening his mouth, so I thought he was shedding. After it persisted for a few hours I placed him in a bath thinking maybe he had stuck shed, but its still persisting.
He moves about, digs, climbs and shows interest in food still, but he's hesitant to actually eat today. His breathing seems a little abnormally paced compared to usual, and once every few minutes or so he makes a little popping sound when he opens his mouth, like he does when he has some eco earth in it. I did take him out to check and I can't see anything stuck, so I'm worried it may be a respiratory issue.

Earlier this week my heating shut off unexpectedly in the middle of the night, and while I set up a space heater as soon as I realized I'm worried that it may've gotten him sick. Has anyone else seen this? It also may be my imagination, but near his nostrils looks a little swollen to me? He's growing so fast it's hard to tell if it's just a new quirk, sometimes. I'll post photos shortly!
