Always Have been Curious......Anybody have Special Needs Frogs or Toads?

[FrogLover2009]

I have always been curious as to if there is anybody out there taking care of frogs and toads that have special needs? I only have read a couple stories about frogs that were injured and given medical attention and how have special care involved, but I would love to hear stories from people who have helped or own frogs/toads that have special needs. Just curious to see.

I have healed 6 red eyed tree frogs from infection, dehydration, and malnutrition from local pet stores. They are completely healed and have no physical disabilities. Only one still needs manually fed. He was hurt while living with crested geckos and had scratches and abscesses on his back. I'm not sure if he has post traumatic stress? He does e erupting else normally....sleeps during the day on or under his plant leaves, hops around and croaks every night, soaks, etc. I've tried several times to let him eat on his own, but he still doesn't. He is used to me feeding him and never jumps away. He doesn't even wiggle when I pick him up anymore. I just gently open his mouth and place his cricket in and then place him back on his leaf. I do not handle him other than to feed him.

I have a wild caught American toad that has a foot missing. I found him as a baby with the foot gone and the stump was still in the process of healing. He was very skinny and unable to hop. I normally do not take in wild animals but I felt so sorry for him. He has been with me since June and has been thriving. He's grown a lot and gotten fat like a toad should be. He still cannot hop. But he walks pretty well. I make sure there are no hard surfaces in his tank so that his stump does not get sore by walking on it.

P.s.
I named him Stumpy! I should get a picture of him.
