Blind or Partially Blind Gulf Coast Toad Care?

[Sapphire195]

I haven't heard him/her call. Have had a few other toads from the barrel call before when I pick them up, though. Sounds kind of like someone saying 'upupupup' a bunch of times...I honestly don't know how else to describe it. lol

I'm glad that he's excited about the food, too. I hope that the second eye functions enough for him to not have to be force fed at some point. It seems like he responds to light in the good eye.

That's a good sign. He may be a little off on depth perception, but if one eye works he should be able to function.

That's good. I do really hope that he'll be well enough off to hunt in the wild with a couple of human given supplements at some point, or hopefully he'll eat without force feeding. I can't imagine that it's all that pleasurable to the little guy to be force fed.
Maybe I can made him a little pen outside or something so I can make sure that he doesn't stray too far away in the yard.
Maybe he can become the new 'porch toad'. The last porch toad was fat and happy because I got her cricket treats a couple times a week, as well as the occasional moth or leaf-hopper. And we have a bunch of hiding places near the porch, as well as a source of water/dampness. I think he'd like it there once it warms up. Might be worth a shot if he'll eat by himself. Our last porch toad was a big female gulf coast toad.


I fed him three small crickets today. I think that he likes the worms better.
