Smooth sided toad help

[Stephan Lapin]

Does he miss his friend? Should I get him a new tank mate?

He might miss his friend, but I doubt this is why he is behaving in such a way; Toad are not mammals - they don't express emotions of sadness or longing in the same way a dog might do it be "hiding it's face in it's paws".

He could be really sick. Take him to the vet first or you could risk getting his new tank mate sick, before you're sure there's nothing going on there.
