However i am open to all and any suggestions you might have for me as i like to do the very best for any animal i have in my care
Thank you in advance

I'm no expert and I don't own Cane Toads, but most frogs and toads become stressed and if he had already adjusted to the housing you had him in when you got him and you recently moved him into a new larger home he will need to readjust to the new surrounding once again. You can also cover 3 sides of his enclosure with a background so he doesn't feel exposed.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your time on this subject i have closed off the three sides of his viv with card board so fingers crossed thank you
