    Default Re: Toad Bully!!!

    I actually have the same issue with Cortana. She's the most active of all my FBTs but she's also an aggressive eater. Quite a few times she's gotten the Arbiter's head in her mouth during feeding. She's bitten at him a few times and jumped over and on top of Master Cheif. When I got Cortana it was easy to tell her apart from the others because of a strange yellow spot on her back. I soon noticed another yellow blotch on her left side. I was looking at the Red Eyed Tree Frog section of the forum and someone had posted a picture of their frogs scars. It looks to me like that's what cortana's yellow skin is. So as it turns out she's aggressive because she's been bullied.

    What To Do: take the bullie out during feeding. Give the bullie it's fill while the others eat theirs. Feed at the same time each time you feed. Try to get them into a schedule. It's difficult to tell how. Uh land you have in your tank judging by the pics you have up. After a week or two of separate feeding, try gently nudging your FBTs onto the land facing separate directions before putting crickets in. Put some in front of each FBTS so they start out seeing "their own" food. I've done this with Cortana and The Arbiter and it's been working out well. Master Cheif is a camper and will wait for The Arbiter and Cortana's escapees.

    Thank you Josh, this sounds just like the problem I'm having. So it seems a bit of 'toad' conditioning is in order. I may have to reorganize my tank set up a little to allow for enough space to seperate them. Right now I have about 45% land but its all squished into the end of the 20L tank. So first I'll just start by seperating them during dinner.

    Each time he grabbed her head she had a cricket sticking out of her mouth. It makes me wonder if he wasn't trying to get her to give up her food. Thankfully Dumpling seems to have suffered not long term ill affects, the pale marks have faded away over night.
