Paul, I was looking at the avatar pic you have. Quite interesting. Is that a Stalker Toad?

Why yes it is, I trained it myself!
You have a good eye for frogs!

Okay, I am working on sweater/hat/mittens/hoody orders. I have to agree with Diane-frozen froggie bottoms are just not cool (well, they are, but they're not...you know what I mean) so she gets dibs on first order. Who wants to be next?

The only thing you have to watch out for Paul (beside his big hammer that is!) is his frogs. He posts pictures of them, you fall in love with the little froggie faces, and then Canada's borders slam shut and your heart breaks. So yeah, watch his frogs....wait, does that sound wrong??!!

Sheesh, guys. I don't want to hear about Paul's frogs, Canada, and doctors.

To do what?

[Paul Rust]

To do what?

We need to be supportive of Jo through this tough time. Jo, I'm sorry honey, Im taken. You know that!

[Jace]

Sigh...one little frog, that's all I wanted. Fine, I will make another appointment but the doc is a quack and frog lovers and ducks don't mix! Besides, I have my eye on two African Clawed frogs anyway. Phhhtttpppttt!

That's right! Phhhtttpppttt!

Don't worry Jo-Anna, I'll show my support and go with you to see the quack. Not that I have anything I need to see the quack about, it's just for you, so you don't feel alone. I'll just sit and listen. Maybe ask a question or two, about my... ummm, ..my friend

[Jace]

Oh my...the friend. I thought I was the only one with that problem!! Oh Lesley, I already feel so much better!!

[FBTmom]

Holy! I go to work and come home to slams on Canada , and my fellow Canadian being picked on! Hey Jo-Anna, before you make my sweaters, I think you need to make some undies for Paul's avatar frogs. They're creepy and naked!

[FBTmom]

I've been off-line for quite a while, but while I was out of commission I received my reptile heater and the tank water has been around 78 degrees for a month now.
Anyway, the one toad still isn't eating. It's been like a month and a half. He's not acting sick at all, though he has slimmed down. He was way too fat before, so now he's more normal looking, but I'm getting very concerned. Today I went and got a bunch of little crickets and put them in a rubbermaid bin with the one toad and left them for almost half an hour. The crickets crawl all over him, but he just tries to get out, or just sits there. I've tried this a couple times, with crickets and mealworms, but he just won't eat. Can he just not be hungry for this long? How long can he go without eating?

[Jace]

Welcome back! I was wondering where you had gone....Paul's frogs wouldn't accept the undies. They like being nudist, but hey, we tried.

If frogs are cold or in hibernation mode for a while, it may take them longer to accept food. However, these guys don't have a huge body mass, so if he truly hasn't eaten that long, I'd be surprised he was still alive. I would feeding him separately as that would be his best chance of getting something, anything. If necessary, give him a lukewarm treated bath before and afterwards. I had to do that with my smallest one to encourage eating and digestion and it worked. Is the rubbermaid container clear or opaque? I use a white tall bucket to feed mine in and because they can't see through it, as soon as the lid is on, they settle down and pig out. Sorry I can't think of something else for you to try...
