toad not eating.

I've noticed this happens during the winter. They are used to hibernating during this time of year. The only problem with this from what I've found is that the frogs don't eat after winter sometimes which leads to their death. It sounds like your toad is interested in eating a bit so I'm not sure if her wanting to go into hibernation is the cause. I'm no expert but it's just an idea. Many of my frogs who do ths don't do it the following winter which makes things a lot less stressful.

One of my toads is like this and the other is not. Try superworms, they move and crawl a lot which might help stimulate your toad to eat. My "hibernating" toad has gone over a month without eating. I was worried at first but she is doing fine. She woke up and was real sluggish at first and her tongue coordination was way off. It took her about 20 tries to get her dinner. She's good now and doesn't miss at all. Your toad will eat. Even though they are inside they still are animals of habit and instinct. They know what time of year it is to shut it down. Given they are inside and affected by the warmth their hibernating cycle doesn't quite fully kick in and hence you have a sluggish toad that doesn't want to eat all the time. That's my theory anyways.
