Got home from work and the neighbor came over with some adult roaches for my WTF's that are to big for her Cope's. I told her Rufus was up but something seemed a little off. We went over to the viv and we found him dead. Sucks, I know, but I look at it this way........ he had 3 years in captivity with fresh water and a full belly. His body showed no sigh of illness or injury so not sure what happened. Debating if I should dig up the other 4 or just let them be and see what time brings me. I told my neighbor and husband that I'm not going to be getting any more toads, since this burrowing thing is not fun. If anything, I'll catch babies in the spring, raise them up over the summer, then release them in the fall. This way I still get a toad fix, plus this will give them a better chance of survival, and don't have the frustration of disappearing for months on end. I know I could just remove about 3 inches of substrate, but would the toads be happy if they can't burrow. I dunno, just a thought.
