The gang

[kueluck]

Just some tib-bits of info and pic of my amphibian friends.
This is Morph, since gender is unknow at this time. Raised from a tad earlier this year
This is Runway. Neighbors works at airfield and found this little one on the airfield.
Rufus and some of the tiny toads.
Striker, so name because it will strike at anything, even a finger, Morph and one to be released later this summer.
Top is Laurel (f), bottom left Willow (m) and to the right is Sassafras (f). River my large female was released over the weekend. She was raised from tad last year but was never content being locked up in a viv so she got her freedom. We have several grays in the yard, you can hear them call at night.

Gail , They are great. Thank's for sharing.
"Runway" what a great name!

Morph decided to come up for a soak today. I hate this time of year, 7 toads underground waiting for spring to arrive. Morph and Rufus come up about once every 3 weeks for a soak and maybe a roach or two.

Hi Gail,
Yuck-right ? It's a long wait !
Cute photos. You need to put alarms on them

Hope all is well!

Lynn,
All is great here. And they actually have little alarms. They do this little whistle sound the night before they come up. It's a riot.....crazy toads.

[kueluck]

Is spring around the corner?!?! Morph AND Rufus up and about this weekend.



Morph always looks pissed, and Rufus.........well he always has that whadayawant look on his face. I love the Fowlers.

Hi Gail. I'm so glad you're having them treated. I hope they stay strong for you. Thank goodness you took them home.
It sure is a hassle to take apart, clean, and rebuild a tank, ugh! They should have to cover the vet bill and the medication cost, at least.

Praying they hang on for you while you heal them.

[Bolisnide]

Gail
I agree, PetCo should pay the vet bill, you've had the darlings for only one week
Thank everything that's good that these babies have you as their caregiver....
I hope they pull through also. They're eating?

[kueluck]

Lynn, did fecal on all of them and I think it's a combination of meds. The Vet is not an amphibian specialist, just a regular Vet, but he does call around for information and help. I'm going to contact them on Monday for a break down of what this stuff. I thought it would say on the bottle or I feel sad for the other babies that may still be at Petco.

Well they made it through the night so the meds didn't kill them.

Heather, the Vet bill isn't bad, it's the $180 I put into the tank that really (GRRRR) makes me mad. They gave me a special price on fecal tests, buy 2 get one free. And thanks for the prayer, it's pretty much in HIS hands now.

Bolisnide, the two little lima beans are hunting and eating, Shadrack, well I haven't seen him eat yet, going to weigh him tomorrow.

Hi Gail,
So glad to read they had a good night!!

I know the $$$ It can get very expensive.
I have to replace all my emergence meds! Yikes

Please keep us posted.
Lynn

[kueluck]

Now I need some ideas for a non-planted tank. And yes, this WILL be updated.

[Heatheranne]

Gail, you are doing such a great job! They look so much better. It's tough work, but the enjoyment we get out of healing them and seeing them thriving and happy again is worth it.

I tend to have to agree with Lynn...I have a feeling they were either wild caught, or housed with something wild caught.

Your toads and green tree frogs look great too! I just love those cute toad faces. Look like grumpy little old men. I recall when they were just toadlets. So cute!

I would have choked the living snot out of him. Ya know, tinkgirl lives in the new orleans area. Maybe she can get a voodoo priestess to curse.him

Got ya covered gail, one really good new orleans style voodoo hoodoo curse coming right up! :: evil grin:wink,wink::

Keep up the great work! I had a run in with my local pet store. Had to send my husband in bc this lil bitty German dego nurse woulda lost her shiitake mushrooms at the owner. So long story short , I too ended up with a rescue. I will post the story in a diff thread. I hope I am as successful as you!

[kueluck]

Thanks Lisa, but I think I'll pass on the voodoo thing, I stay away from the dark side. And I'm just reading more & more posts about sick WTF's from Petco. Time to contact Petco headquarters.

Morph always cracks me up with that look. Southern Toads have such an attitude.

Right from the start, (my start on FF), I knew this gal was my hero. That gal being Gail. She keeps saying she just followed vet's orders, but that's only part of it. Other folks would likely half-a** it, and forget about steam cleaning any tanks! The attention paid to notice something amiss right away, and a rush on getting fecal done (i thought the buy 2 get 1 was pretty funny too), then restraint in not slaughtering petco employees, it's all just awesome. now they're all looking well, eating well, pooping... in anybody else's hands, this would not be the case. And of course there's the toads. <3

[kueluck]

Thanks Crystal, but all I try to do it keep them all healthy and happy, and FF has helped me bunches in doing this. I’ve seen many here pull their little buddies from the grip of the Grim Reaper. It’s a pretty amazing group of dedicated folks here. You’ll see some awesome things happen, but you’ll also see some things posted that make you wanna just throw your hands up in the air & walk away. I did take a break from FF for a short time. I had to regroup my thoughts and put a silencer on my fingers. It was that or I would most likely have been kicked out. But any way, thanks Crystal, and try not to knock that pedestal out from under my feet.

[kueluck]

Some might be getting tired of my updates, but this is my way of keeping track of the gang. Sooooooooooooooooooo.
Not sure who left me this, think it's Shadrack though. It was in the holding container that they go in when steam cleaning their tank and tank items. Guess someone couldn't "hold" it. LOL
