my fire belly toads wont eat

[ashleymonae1]

I have tried everything from crickets and small mealworms. they use to eat daily but now they just wont eat at all and they do alot of barking which makes me think they are hunger. Please help me PLEASE

[jocie1976]

The barking is the males calling to the girls, not a hunger thing. Hopefully someone else can jump in with some advice for them not eating as I haven't faced this.

they are males they seem to be fine any pics? i would try feeding grasshopper but first cut of the grasshopper's "jumping legs" then feed it to your toad. be sure he is on land and feed him near him place it then he will eat it this happened to mine also and ate grasshopper now! or give him earthworms. just he wants to eat something moves fast which can see it my fire belly loves grasshoppers.Try it and update us what happened. be sure the grasshopper is a nymph and no insecticide or spray. update us what happened.

whatever ended up happening? it seems to be something thats happening to alot of us recently (yes, myself included) when i warmed them back up with an underwater heater (which they didnt have before) they began to pick back up in speed? has the temperature of their water dropped recently? or have you introduced any new toads to the setup?

omg maybe the temp has dropped it is colder now. thank you thank you soooooo much

3 weeks ago the weather dropped here, and my 2 slowed down. i thought a husbandry change i had made, was some how killing them? so i made the decision based upon some advice i was given, to put them in a large enclosure together and give them an under water heater (were actually using a beta heater because the regular reptile/amphibian ones were too big for my enclosure) and since i put the heater in.. they are beginning to thrive again... i think its to the point where its just getting cold enough to put them into a hibernation state...

anyways, since i warmed them back up with the heater (automatically set to 78 degrees), they are back to being bright green (from the dark dark muddy green they turned), they compete for food, lol they have begun trying to mate, and my little male has begun croaking (which he didnt before)

i would suggest you try warming them up and see what happens....especially if you didnt make any changes to the set up...
