Awww! She was a beauty... adorable pics! Thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry to say that she passed away. I believe her bloating and lack of appetite was from Septicemia, Dropsy or some other infection. I also had a severe die off of my crickets, so maybe they were...
Yeah. Everytime I tried to wipe it, her lower lid comes up and covers it. At first I thought it was pus because pus from toads his hard forming, but not really knowing what more to do, I took her to...
Might seem like a very stupid question, but I cannot find much information online. So, I'm relying on the experience of the forum members.
I'm a little worried about my girl at the moment because...

If you have any idea of what this is or how I should treat it, I'd really appreciate it! It looks like it's on the outside of the cornea but it is definitely under the cornea....
I'd give it 2-3 times a week and also make sure that the vitamin A source is not from Beta-carotene. I read that source is not very good for them. Something else you could try, which has been...
I have a toad with an eye issue too! She is one of the wild ones that has been visiting me for the last 2 summers and I named her ROXIE. She came out of hibernation, looking all skinny but she...
If they jump, they are springtails. If the crawl, they are mites. Mites normally do not pose a threat to frogs or toads, but I would feel uncomfortable if there were a large number and if they...
awww! So sorry to hear that she didn't survive! And... Holy Cow! I've never seen bloating/swelling like that!! My best guess is that she got hit or possibly stepped on and something got broken,...
Welcome to the forum! Lots of great stories and advice here and I look forward to sharing info with you! I also have two American toads, 1 male (Speckles) and 1 female (Shima) and we're glad that you...
I hear ya! I've become attached to my toads but if I don't release them, then I am defeating my purpose. I keep thinking about the risks of them getting run over or eaten! Yikes! When you work so...
You might want to consider breeding mealies, it's super easy and a lot cheaper than buying! There are a lot of videos on how to breed mealworms. Takes very little space & time! Just need to let some...
That's great that he's eating!! YAYYY!! Don't know where you live but here in PA, the insects have emerged outside so they are pretty easy to find. However, since I started raising toads, I learned...
OMG!!!!! How cute are they???!!!:love_heart:
I agree! With being stressed, it's normal for him not wanting to eat. I'd give it a couple days for him to adjust to his new environment. Very interested to see how things work out, so please keep us...
You're very welcome! Glad the article proved useful to someone else!:o
I completely understand your worrisome mind! I'm a momma to many types of animals and I'm constantly worrying over anything that is out of the ordinary and then questioning/researching, so I get it!...
Hi! Unfortunately, I think you are going to need to take her to an exotic vet to get a definitive diagnosis. It is not impossible for frogs to develop cancer but it is very rare and unlikely....
Oh... He's beautiful! Best of luck with him!!!:)
Have you tried or thought about raising your own crickets? I was afraid that we were going to run into these circumstances of obtaining feeders, so a couple months ago I began to raise my own...
OHHHHH NOOOO!!!! I am soooo sorry!!! This is the second loss I am reading about on the forum tonight!! Now, I am really bummed... for you and the other forum member!! IDK what to say! :( Much love to...
I am soooo sorry to hear that she didn't make it! And it sounds like it was a horrific and heartbreaking thing to watch that happen! I believe impactions can be very difficult to diagnose because...
So sorry to hear about your girl! First... I'm a bit confused that you said she "drank" all her water, because toads do not drink. They absorb water through their skin and it would be hard to...
I was having a similar issue with my crickets too until I increased the airflow! As long as I keep enough food and water in with them, they don't eat one another and the only dead ones I find are the...
