Injured toad... got stepped on:(

Only way to know if and how bad leg is broken it to take toad to veterinary for an x-ray. Without that and proper bone setting knowledge; splinting or restricting the leg could end up causing more problems. From what I've read, broken bones should heal. Dusting all it's food with good CA/D3 supplement will provide any extra CA needs during healing period. Good luck !

Ill dust at every feeding for xtra cal. I'm hoping with some rest it'll heal. I set the tank up as simplyas i could, so he won't climb up on or fall off anything, and covered the sides, so it won't try to climb it, like my other male toads do....or did frequently. Thanks Carlos

I had a male American toad named Gremlin who lost the front of his left front foot (all but his thumb and pinkie finger) due to a squashing. He also broke his jaw, which took a long time to heal. I fed him slow-moving foods with extra calcium and kept his water very clean and sanitary until the injury was mostly healed. He was eventually released back into his natural habitat. I second the extra calcium, and I'd recommend slow-moving foods that he won't get too excited about stalking. If he isn't too keen on moving around, just be sure it isn't too warm or too cold in his area, which I'm sure you already know.
