    You crack me up..........sounds like Banjo is just being a regular toad. Trying feeding her every other day, it's better to have them a little on the hungry side.

    Ah, it's a gif, and since it loops you can't make them too big, causes lag. It's just a portion of an old video when she was learning to eat worms.

    Giving my 8 adult crickets their freedom. Not sure if they laid eggs in the dirt, tho I thought I saw one lady in action. They may have just been digging around in there, or eaten the eggs, I don't know, but I'm saving the dirt. I can't take the chirping and if by chance it's bothering Banjo, worth getting rid of them.

    Seems she stopped being a little piggy right around the time they matured and starting making noise. Yes, it could be those funky worms, but if that's the case I don't know what I could do for her.

    There could be a connection to somewhat nearby (small apartment) chirps, no crickets, and her not eating. It's tentative, but they're smelly and I'm annoyed by it. So see ya, live it up out there.

    Just gave her a honey soak/rinse, and for a moment I thought she was going to poo in the rinse off. She didn't, but hopefully it moved things along and maybe her tummy will growl and she'll eat. The main reason for soak was trying to get some calories into her. Going to pick up some unflavored pedialyte later this morning. Just in case.

    It's not lost on me that this post was about not pooing and now it's about not eating. If I don't totally screw her up, it will always be something I'm worried about as she gets older. Sassing me, amplexing around, getting high off other frogs and toads, etc.

    That roach was the very last thing she's eaten. She just wants to burrow or sleep; she's in her burrow right now. I didn't get the pedialyte, they didn't have unflavored. Should've gone to another store. I've given her another honey soak, and she physically looks fine, stopped shedding too.

    But if I don't get her to eat, she's going to die.

    Tried force-feeding last night, but couldn't get her mouth open, scared her into peeing, so I quit.

    Plan to put her in an empty bin with baby roaches, let them run around and hope that entices her. It's kinda cool out, (60) but maybe fresh air will help. Taking her outside might be what started this, I don't know. At 1st it didn't seem to hurt her appetite. So I thought it might be the worms. I still don't know. If she needs to be an outside toad again, I'm ok with that. But I can't let her be an outside toad if she's sick, obviously. Physically sick, I mean. Maybe she's home sick. I would prefer that.

    *cooking up some new substrate now.

    **emailed this Dr Frye guy. I don't have a herp vet nearby. Tho I don't want to needlessly medicate her, I don't want something that could have been treated to kill her, obviously. Another change I forgot to mention, was that a few days ago (not sure when), I moved her to front room where the roaches are, and where it's warmer. I was thinking maybe she was too cold in kitchen or just being in kitchen was bugging her. The front room has a dimmer switch so I can turn the light on slowly, rather than just flipping it on. It used to be my bedroom but I haven't slept there since I got the roaches. It doesn't get a whole lot of traffic. Neither does the kitchen, but I can't slowly turn on lights out here. If she sun came up that fast, or set in a flash, I'd be alarmed.

    Absolutely no luck in empty bin with roaches, but we went outside and she's still a really good hopper. Don't know where she's getting the energy. She's in a honey soak right now. About to go into her rinse off.

    *now in temp home, burrowed to the bottom. I didn't realize, her shed was incomplete. We got it all off.

    SHE ATE!! and pooped!

    Came home from work and had to do a complete gentle sweep of temp tank cuz she was all the way under water dish I'd put in there. Placed her in newly cleaned out and rearranged home, with 4 baby mealworms. Came back to check on her later, and she was on edge of water dish, looking out at the room: Name:  DSC00203.jpg

    Two mealworms were missing, and there was a poop.

    But I got excited, crushed it, and dropped it. Nevertheless, it smelled like poo and I saved it in a baggie. Well-formed and gorgeous, but I'm confused cuz I *KNOW* she hasn't eaten in a week. I counted her bugs.

    So I thought the mealworms may have escaped together, and I dug through the dirt but couldn't find them. Started making some food (for myself) and went back to check on her and she was under a plant, again, looking out at the room, and another mealworm was gone. So I tried holding the last one in front of her with the (well washed) tongs, but she was too close to side of tank to notice. So I dropped it in front of her, to see what both of them would do. I figured if she didn't eat it, I could see how the mealworm reacted to ecoearth. But nope, she backed up a little, spotted it, and OH i LOVE that sudden change in posture when she's all business. Out came the tongue and *snap* it was gone. <3

    I don't like that it was mealworms she ate, or that she ate it off the dirt, but to see her interested in food again is awesome. She had mealworms in there, offered to her, when she wasn't eating, and showed zero interest. They weren't the magic key. I don't know what was... time, maybe? Crying about it on facebook? I don't know, but I'm glad my baby is getting better.

    I think she ate a baby roach that night, one was missing, and the lil ones generally can't escape. Has been refusing food since then. But I'm not too worried now. She has this dark brown color when sleeping in her dirt, and I was concerned about it, but it's her cool-temp color. Otherwise she looks fine. She did refuse a new worm, but also anything else offered, so letting her be.

    So glad she ate cuz Dr Frye isn't available. I'd been thinking of letting her go be an outside toad, and I'm still not sure. And I'm talking to myself.
