Baby Toad is a bubble?? Weirdest thing I have ever seen!!!

[Reptilian Feline]

I have never seen anything like it! Can you put it in a shallow water dish without it falling on its back? I'm thinking, water, moisture, and maybe it can come out of its bubble on its own?

I think it’s skin is the outside of the bubble, and water is trapped between the skin and the rest of its body. I have it in a tiny, tiny amount of water, just enough for it’s feet to be wet. I am wondering if he will be like this forever? Eventually he will die right? I can’t even imagine how to feed this water ballon with a face!

Water between the skin and the body? Like a huge blister then. Well, assuming it will most likely not make it, can yoiu drain the water/fluid with a tiny surringe?

[Umplumpa]

He is still alive, but this morning he was on his back in his tank, he must do it on purpose, because he is on land. He is just about the same as last night.

i don’t trust myself with a needle. So I think it’s a no on syringe.

weird question, do you think whatever it is might evaporate/pop on its own?

[Reptilian Feline]

It might, but if he can't eat, he might not last long enough.

How's the little guy/gal doing? Did it make it? I've never seen this.

He is getting skinnier?? I am not sure what is going on but he is getting better I think. I will keep you posted. He have started to slim down a tiny bit. Just a tiny bit. Though, the ‘water’ inside him is no longer clear, and he doesn’t look see through. I put springtails inside the tank. So I don’t know if he is getting food, but it’s there. It really can’t move really much, he just wiggles around. His skin is super sticky. I am super confused on what’s going on. But I think it’s a permanent thing.


edit: he can open his mouth, and makes some facial expressions. He really doesn’t have mobility in his front legs, because of his weight. Still has bubble shape, and his back legs puffed up a bit.
