Escapee found; doesn't seem to "feel good".

There's not much you can do for him at this point but just let him soak in the water. He just needs time to rehydrate. Get a locking lid on that tank fast.

So the whole hanging out under the water for awhile is okay? Thanks for your input; we'll look into a locking lid asap!

EDIT: I looked for a lid with a locking mechanism on it but we could only find "Zilla Fresh Air Locking Screen Clips". Do you think those will suffice?

What size tank to you have? Also, what kind of lighting do you use? If you simply have a 10 gallon tank without an overly hot light source I would get this at Walmart.

Walmart.com: Pet Select: Deluxe Screen Cover, 1 Ct: Dogs

I have it on my 10 gallon and it's very convenient.

One other thing: in the picture on walmart's page it shows to round holes in the lid. It comes with plastic fillers for those holes that you twist to lock into place. They're great because I can just drop my crickets in through the hole on the land side of my tank.

Unfortunately my tank is 20 gallons.. Thank you for your input though, that tank would be quite convenient!

UPDATE: Tidus is doing just fine guys, thank you very much! As Cheri said, he just needed some time to re-hydrate, he is back to his hopping, horny, alpha ways!

Fire Belly toads are very resilient and as you know great escape artists. If they can be found before they die they usually spring back to life rather quickly. The most important thing is to get a lid that can be locked in place. They'll be able to get out of anything that involves duck tape and bubble gum.
