Toad Basics - Keeping ground-dwelling Toads. A care sheet for Bufo, Anaxyrus, Spea, Scaphiopus, Ollotis, Alytes, Pelobates

i can only guess, but considering you found him "floating in his water bowl", the only think that makes sense is that he drowned. either the water was too deep or once he was in the water bowl, the walls of it were too tall for him to climb out. next try putting a hermit crab sponge or something else up against the side to help the toadie escape. they also sell special water bowls for hermit crabs that have a stairway type side which might help. sorry for your loss .. i just lost a little american toad last night.

ello fellow repti/anphi lovers,

I am looking for advice... I recently(5/25/2010) bought a Bufo Alvarius juvenile(about 4 inches) online, today i woke up to him having passed away, floating in his water bowl... He lived in a 30 gallon terrarium with a repti-bark substrate, a water bowl, a heating pad, and a ceramic heat emitter(60w). I fed him only gut loaded, vitamin dusted crickets. Although I never actually saw him eat, I know crickets where disappearing. I am trying to figure out what went wrong, or what I might have done to hurt his chances of survival.. I am procuring another one, and have read all the care sheets over and over, please if you have any information you think will help please don't hesitate to let me know! Thank you all
