Little toad doesn't give a poop... literally and I'm worried.

Honestly, who'd of thought we could get so excited about poop

A few months ago, I thought my juvenile bullfrog had eaten a small stone, and of course, I was freaking out, so I went home early from school, and in time to see her poop as well. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see poop in my entire life.


To people my age, who usually listen to Dubstep and Rap, I've got a very unusual taste in music.

Right?! I was pulling my hair out over this. Don't usually photograph her poops (aside from when they were phoenix worms), tho I've seen some whoppers.

I probably listen to exactly what people my age (30) listen to (some of them), but I only figure that out when I hear the Lumineers on the radio. And you know what? That pleases me. I'm no hipster.

some times you just gotta let them do there thing... haha congrats its a lovely one...

Yeah, she needed to be a toad. Then eat a worm (no bugs out there, tho I was looking under rocks. And a nice warm bath. Water only. She was splashing around, I thought she was just trying to get out, but no, she was trying to escape the poo in her water. Also, she splashes right before a poop, but I wasn't watching when it went down. I hope it's a healthy enough poop. Usually it's giant logs. At least she's evacuating. And I can feed her again.

I had the same thing happen, supplier emailed me and said to pierce the worm before feeding it to my toad. I had a thread on this issue.

It's surprisingly common. Stinks that they're supposed to be such good feeders. Would like to go back to silkworms, tho they require a special chow to live past a few weeks.

Good to see her pooping again, it's a beautiful thing. Looks like she enjoyed her jaunt around the yard, now not only is she gonna give you that "feed me now" look, she'll have a "wanna play outside" stare.

She just wanted to burrow, but it was a bit windy and new. I met the neighbors out back who have lived there for 2 yrs (who knew?), and had to introduce them to her so they wouldn't think I was a complete weirdo out in the yard looking at the ground for no reason. They took our swing set, but no one here swings on a toddler swing and it was decrepit so that's ok. Don't think Banjo would enjoy swinging anyway. I took my eyes off of her to chit chat, and tho she hadn't moved, I couldn't find her again. The lady had to help point her out to me. She blends, and started looking a little green of hue in the sun.
I loved seeing her hop about!

Some pics from our outside time this afternoon.
She'd eaten a calcium dusted nightcrawler and 3 or 4 baby meal worms, so I thought she could use the exercise. Not as much hopping as I would've liked to see, at least not in an area I would consider safe (no broken glass) and too many suspicious looking birds and squirrels about. I could hear the birds chattering about the tasty toad sitting in the grass. But I think she enjoyed the fresh air, cuz now that she's in her newly cleaned home, she's did that plant climbing thing again:
Climbed down when she realized there's no exit: Went on to check out plant she's seen a million times before:
Now she's soaking in her water bowl. Pouting, soaking, it's all the same. <3
