    i can't tell you to go see an animal care physician, but i can tell you it's okay to make him an eyepatch, it might make a swell gift. serioulsy
    I can see how that would be rude, but a eyepatch will mess up his swag. On a serious note I am still concerned for my toad and his roommate.

    This is from If frogs could talk 12. Cloudy eyes are probably too much fat in his diet and over feeding. Domestically raised crickets can cause this. Feed crickets whole grains, veggies and fruit and no dog food. There is no cure for cloudy eyes so prevention is the best thing to do.

    Bacterial infection is also a cause of cloudy eyes. You must maintain clean conditions. Change their water everytime they enter it and every 2 days even if not used. You should setup a quarentine tank with only paper towels as substrate a clean water dish and appropriate temps and humdity and place the affected toad in the quarentine tank. A vet could perscribe antibiotics to fight the bacteria.

    I'm not sure if this could apply. The lack of certain vitamins may lead to a secondary clouding of the eye by bacteria.
