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

We went out again this afternoon. A little windy, but warm. Ate a worm before and after. She can really motor.




I have some green worm eggs in my cup of european nightcrawlers... anyone know if these might hatch? They're not refrigerated.

Your such a good toad mom.

She makes it easy, being so adorable. Last night and today she's just been resting. Her leftover crickets that I've been feeding matured and started chirping today. I have at least 2 females, so gave them some moist coconut dirt if they want to lay eggs. I figure they'll only live a few weeks as adults, and if I end up with little baby crickets, Banjo will be happy. She likes them. I do not. And I wish chirpy over there would hush up.

Little girl was all mad and cold this morning, burrowing and uprooting her plant, after a shed last night:
Because this beauty was in her old burrow:

I scooped out that whole section. And washed those tongs. There was a fake plant there that she pooped on the base of, causing the indent, so had to wash that too. She's back under it, and everybody's happy.

Now she doesn't want to eat. Woke up this morning and the baby roaches were still in the bowl, her water was untouched, and she was sitting by her plant. I sat her beside the food bowl and they were running around in there but she paid no mind. Instead, she hopped in her water and sat like this for a while. Changed the water, warmed it up 1st, and she sat some more. Offered her a worm, she didn't care about that either. Some of those worms are looking kinda funny. Not the one I tried to feed her, but out of the same cup, so I'm concerned. Here's some pics but I'll start a new thread probably... This is not the cup with the egg, but it IS the one she's been eating out of.

If you think the worms are "iffy", I would throw them out. And I wouldn't be too concerned about her not eating for a few days, just keep an eye on her and try not to stress her out. Don't offer her anything today, wait until tomorrow and see how she reacts.

Good call. They may have gotten too hot. Or they could be diseased. She still has the roaches in there; they're hiding under and eating a carrot chip, until she feels like eating them. Last time I left them there eventually she ate them, right around the time she took that last poo. She's never passed on a worm before tho. I usually dust them with calcium and she goes right for them. This morning I offered it plain cuz I wasn't sure she'd take it. That had nothing to do with it, and I'll let her be, but I'll be alarmed over this until she eats again. Those messed up worms are in my freezer now, and I've moved the others. They're cheap enough, I can afford to toss the lot out into the yard.
