Holy cow, that was a battle and a half.
Paul brought him a big fat moth from work, but he was too little and skittish for it, so I let it go. Before that I'd given him a small one but it just hid on flower pot and died. Now that he's bigger and more daring, should be fun. He's like a completely different toad now. If all goes according to plan, I should be going to pick up new toad tomorrow morning.
He was looking pretty full today, and I haven't seen a poo since last week, so gave him a honey soak. It usually works and he goes in the rinse-off. Last time, I watched and it was amazing. Didn't work today and he just got mad. That's the worst! But worms are really easy to digest, right? He ate so many (4, but he's just a little guy), I would think he'd have to go. He should be ok, and I'll try again later if he doesn't make on his own. Sometimes he digs an indent and goes, sometimes the water dish, but it's so erratic. That's the only thing that really worries me about him. If he has a secret poop space, I can't find it, but I hate doing the soak thing. Hopefully new toad is a self-starting pooper, and I can keep her that way.
Old tank is almost all ready for her. Looking forward to being able to put them together eventually. It sounds ridiculous, but I think he's lonely. Sometimes he'll catch a glimpse of his reflection and just stare at it. Sitting in food dish, nose to nose with himself one morning. I have backdrops up, but it might make reflections worse. Doesn't happen all the time, and he doesn't seem too stressed about it. But some company will hopefully be a good thing. And until then I can split my worry between the 2 of them.
