So i obtained two toads over the summer, both were the same size, both were active, and eating regularly. But a last week one of my toads(Thomas) started to get really dark in color, not active, and i cant get him to eat, while my other toad(Oscar) is flourishing. I have completely changed everything in his enviroment when he started to act differently. I also noticed a small bubble looking thing on his bottom. Not sure what else i can do for him. Can anyone help?
I feed them crickets and mealworms i buy at he store, and i feed the crickets Fluker's High-Calcium food, Flukers Calcium Fortified cricket quencher, and some times small pill bugs and worms I find outside. I use coconut dirt and moss. And i just started using calcium dust.

You need a Vet. They can darken, but from the looks of him it could be a bacterial infection. I don't own a Toad and have no experience with them, but this very well could be bacterial.
maybe its a "gas bubble disease" i dont know how to cure it because i didnt have one sick toad.Bring it to a vet to be more safe....
It may be trying to hibernate. Less light, heat, and moisture can trigger this, and two critters of the same species don't necessarily go down at the same time. You'd expect it to burrow more often if this is the case.
Is the 'bubble' on it's skin or coming from the cloaca (anus)? The latter would be a prolapse..
Post some more detailed pictures of the toad and the bubble you've mentioned.
I can't see the bubbles area. Could you post a closer picture? Thanks.
