American Toad not Pooping

[AlanLynch]

I have not seen Lola's poop anywhere lately, not even in her water dish. Is something wrong? Or does she just poop in her burrow or hide?

From what I've read here on the forum, burrowing frogs and toads often leave their droppings in the burrows they make... have you checked?

I just sid, but didn't find anything, also last time the toad was in her burrow was like two days ago so the springtails probably ate it.

Hmm.. I haven't had much experience, but I've had a few constipated froglets... they didn't poop for ages. What I did to loosen them up was give them a 1/2 hour honey bath; honey acts as a natural emollient and stool softener. Add 1 tablespoon honey to 2 cups warm (but not hot) dechlorinated water), and stir in the honey until it's dissolved. The water should be sweet but not syrupy.

Give Lola one of those soaks a day until she passes a bowel movement; that's if you're sure she hasn't passed one lately
