    Hello Eli! How are your toads doing? Just read through your initial post again and the last sentence drew my attention. The reddened area is on toad's belly which is what sits on the chamomile water. Could you please tell us how are you using this chamomille (fresh, tea bags, timed soaks, always in water, etc.). Thank you !
    Heya Carlos, I picked up some dried/fresh chamomile from my moms, and put about 1 cup or so in a fairly large pot filled one quarter of the way with water and (as you could guess) made tea then set it out to cool down and steep. I soaked them in some of the tea in a bin for a few minutes. And in the quarantine tank I just sprinkled some of the crushed flowers (and put a little bit of the tea in their bowl).

    Oh and three days ago, the first toad (I actually named him Carlos, after the author Carlos Castaneda lol) shed' his skin just like any ole' normal toad would. And the second one seems completely fine now. He's got his color back and both of their redness is gone. If this was just nothing but my worrying, then I'm sorry and will make sure to not post a thread unless it seems more serious (it must get old for you guys. All those pages of "my frog's sick")

    Sorry I couldn't get back sooner. Thanks.

    OK, just remember to use dechlorinated water for your home made brew.

    Think name is cool and doubt Castaneda will complain about it .

    Sorry I couldn't get back sooner. Thanks.
    We much rather get you ready, and even argument about treatment, than being contacted too late to save a frog. Give a hug to Carlos from me and good luck to you and the toads !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
