    Default Re: toad shedding question

    The most logical reason why toads and many frogs in general eat their skin is for the nutrient value. If you keep your toad in good health and fed properly, there will be no need for the toad to eat its shed. Most of my frogs do not eat the shed, so I have to scoop it out.
