Toads look great Pilz; thanks for share! Like the guy on last set of pics... such a serious look ! You are lucky not local to me; otherwise would be pestering for toadlets when you breed them .

PIC Update.

[Pilz Olli]

New pix, just two. Ellie is soooooooo big already

I sadly lost Sue, the little girl, may she rest in peace.
She didn't show any signs of disease, was looking ok, till I found her dead. No idea what caused the death.
Only thing is she was always the little, while the others grew normal. She got enough food, no question.
But she was only 2 third of Ellies size.

Anyway, the others are doing good, here are pix from today:

Sorry for Sue's death . With out a postmortem it's impossible to know; maybe a genetic issue or some developmental problem involving baby/juvenile stages. Glad others are well; any sign of breeding intentions?

Afaik they have to be send to hibernation to get them into mating condition.
Which I don't do. Though it would be lovely to have this cute little tadpoles and toadlings.
