Her behavior and appetite ( Zoo Med Aquatic Frog micro peiiets and night crawlers) have not changed, still good. She is alone in a 10 gal. tank, Water levels test normal.

I found a male juvenile American toad a couple days ago outside. He chirped so nicely 4 me I decided 2 give him some cricket snacks b4 he went on his way.
