    Default URGENT MISSING TOAD! Possible animal ingestion.

    Well earlier today I owned two fire belly toads tonight I own one. One has gone missing. there is only a half inch gap in the lid and enclose is a home made tank 12 inches tall. Are they able to "climb" up the silicon corners? Could the other toad have eaten it? I own four cats and two dogs and am very concerned that someone could have had a tummy upsetting snack.

    Hi there
    FBTS ARE ESCAPE ARTISTS! they usually go up the corners and if you dont already, get a screen lid and if possible a sliding screen lid.
    one way to find your toad again is to think like a toad, they like dark places to hide, i would put water bowls around where you suspect him to be, i did have many escapes, but i lost one toad

    Hope you find your toad! good luck

    They can actually climb glass, I've seen my male scale the sides of his tank several times. Check around small dark areas like Bob said. Hopefully you find it before it's too late, they can dehydrate very quickly out of the viv
