Pacific Chorus frog Update

Gonna add on in that Thermidor did try and lunge at a cricket a day or two back, but couldn't pull it into his mouth. His tongue just kinda sat there, so I don't know what's going on with that. At least he's going for food now. Gonna try and feed him an Earthworm tomorrow though. Monitoring him closely.

Levi is good, eating regularly, very fat and healthy. Bumpy still has that spot on his nose but he's normal too, quite plump now as well.

As for Aleksis and the other toads, had to move the newest one, Rosa, into the main tank since she escaped from the old one, no clue how. Found her shortly after, glad I did or else my cat would have got her. Also, had to put all the toads in a separate tank to find Aleksis (he'd hidden himself under the filter a while back) so that scared them all a little but they're calming down now, including Aleksis himself. Feedings have been chaotic but once they're all calm again, it should all go back to normal.

Well, Thermidor hasn't eaten at all this week. He seems to slowly move around his tank every so often and then just sleep. However, he is a good size right now, which is a positive. But I definitely think he's on his last legs, unfortunately :/ still trying to feed him, to no avail.

Other frogs are good. Aleksis is calming down and eating regularly, and feedings with all the toads have become less chaotic. Everyone's eating fine, I always find firm, fully formed stools in their tank which is another good sign. Aleksis has lost a little bit of weight due to his time spent hiding/being somewhat skittish, but he's regaining it. It may also be because he seems to be growing, a lot. He's nearly the size of Sasha now.

Talking about Sasha, I'm almost worried that she's pregnant. She's easily the fattest and largest of all four of the toads, and eats like a monster. But, it could be due to the fact that she eats the most (and biggest crickets) out of everyone now. As for the other two, Dimitri is eating and acting normally. He's getting quite plump now, but unlike Aleksis it is accumulating around his lower torso, instead of giving him of a muscular build with a larger and more muscular upper torso like Aleksis has. Rosa, the new little female, has fit in quick and is a very efficient hunter of crickets. She'll often dart to the feeding rock, snatch a cricket meant for another toad, and dart off. She's putting on a little weight now, and like Sasha it's a very all-round kind of thing.

As for the other amphibians, Bumpy is also eating and acting fine, and the Sals have been too. Levi is getting quite fat, so I'm going to cut his diet down a little to 4-6 crickets per feeding, maybe feed him a couple of earthworms sometime too if I can get some out of my compost. But otherwise, all is good.

Came home from school and found Thermidor has passed on. Rest in Peace.

I think this was simply a case of old age. I have no idea of what his age was, and the slow way he deteriorated just suggests that he was passing from old age. I'm going to miss him, but we had two good, long years together.

Poor Therm he had a good life while he was with you and you did what you could for him. Sorry to hear he passed.
