Re: odd bugs???
If you cannot fit the toad/amphibian into your lifestyle/daily routiene and keep the temperatures normal, humidity level and vivarium clean, and free of foreign insects, then I would not recommend buying another amphibian. The SECOND you noticed the insects you should have removed them, and cleaned the entire tank. They may not have killed the toad, but it is a possibilty, and clearly, not worth risking!
What did you keep the temperature at?
What did you keep the humidity at?
Did you mist daily?
How frequently did you change it's water and what did you have for a water bowl?
Could it have ingested something that caused impaction? (i.e Small stones, bark chips, moss?)
How frequently did you change the coco-fibre?
Did you handle it alot?
Where did you feed it, in the tank, or in a seperate tank?
Could you post a photot of the dead toad?
When it was alive, was it skinny or fat?
Did you feed mealworms as a staple? Did you dust it's food with calcium & vitamin power?
Just some things to look at, maybe something had to do with it's death rather than natural causes...
Oh, and was it Wild Caugh or a Captive Bred toad bought for a pet store?
