Injured fowler toad

[KrisSully]

At my farm I found a fowler toad that was dragging its hind limb. Not only did I worry that it would get stepped on but we have 3 barn cats that would have made a meal out of him. I am completely new to frogs and I tried to set him up a small recovery tank to try and help him heal his leg. It's a 4 gallon with the Zilla dirt sand from where I had found him and green moss and I had a shallow bowl and a suction cup vine plant for him to hide under. He seems pretty active and alert and ate 4 small crickets. My concern is that he is freaking out about the sides of the tank, trying to climb them, jumping into it, etc. I'm afraid this is doing more harm then good for his injured leg. Is this normal for a toad from the wild to behave like this? Is the tank too small? Any suggestions would be awesome all I want to do is help the poor guy.

It takes time for them to get used. Cover 3 sides of the enclosure and in a few days he should be fine.
My toad Coconut was doing the same thing. 4 gallons is ok, mostly depends on the size of the toad

Treat the wound with Bactine. Bactine is recommended for amphibians as a topical for open wounds and injuries. Just dab a little Bactine on a Q-tip and swab the wound. Once daily until the wound is healed.

It is normal, I had wild toads that did the same, but you WILL need a bigger tank, and be sure to feed it worms also, not just crickets. A ten gallon or bigger would be best, 10 for 1-2 toads, 15 for three, and 20 for four I would say, although others say that you should not put more than three toads in a aqarium.
