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

I don't like this, not at all. I thought we'd gotten over sleeping in plants. This makes me super sad, like she wants out. And maybe she does, maybe that would be best. Unless she's sick. Besides being nose to nose with her reflection up on a fake plant in the corner, does she look wrong? She looks like she has rosy cheeks in the 2nd pic, but I always thought those were her ears.

Hi Crystal! Strange; but maybe frog does realize difference between cage and outside. Some animals don't like captivity at all... no matter it's safer, with food, care, etc. Good luck !

She definitely knows the difference, I know. After romps outside, she climbs, but then climbs down. She loves it out there, but she looks so small to me still. She's more than twice the size she was when I brought her home in Sept, but I still see a vulnerable little one when I look at her.

I may have inadvertently stressed her out, exactly what gail rightfully advised me NOT to do. Looking at her, and such. I'm used to being very hands on and involved, with all that I do, so frogs are a whole new thing to learn. Part of why I love it, when she's doing well.

(I also don't know what the point of friend requests are.. But I'm too much of a newbie with zero rep power so friend requesting for me just means I like what the member has to say.)

She looks good, and if she's growing, she's gonna shed. Some times my frogs & toads will shed once a week. As long as she is eating, soaking, shedding, has clear eyes and formed poop all is good. Maybe she needs a bigger tank to jump around in. Native toads are pretty tough little creatures. My Morph has been underground for some time, but this morning there she was, waiting for food.

I've noticed she turns down food right before a shed, so I was kind of happy to see it happen, and woke up today to see a poop. I feel fairly certain it wasn't just shed skin but rather something that came out of her. She still hasn't eaten tho. Her home is 22.5 I think. I have a dr appt today, so she'll get a much needed break from my hovering.

Same here, I'm also using the "Like" and "Thanks" bottoms for that according to situation .

After thinking about what you wrote for a while; think maybe it's better to accept friend requests, even when we don't see the point... !

She still hasn't eaten, but I took her out while I dumped the worms. They definitely had some moldy looking spots on them. Picked up some dried leaves and a nice stick while I was out there. A fair amount of adorable hopping was done, til she found a spot to burrow and do her rock impression. Then I took her in. A little sunshine, fresh air and exercise will hopefully stimulate her appetite.

Came home tonight and she ate one coated roach. Something > nothing.

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.
