Hello. In June of this year we rescued two FBT's from my son's classroom where they were living in a 2gal. betta container with a little gravel, a small bowl of water, and nothing else. They apparently lived that way for about three years. Anyway, we adopted them and put them in a 20gal. tank with half water and half land. Now they're in my 33gal. with 75% water that's 4" deep with a small filter set on low flow, and 25% land with hiding spots. I do a water change every few days, and yes, I de-chlorinate the water first.
Anyway, my son has always hand fed the toads their crickets without any problems. (Sometimes we'd release the crickets, but too many drown.) But a couple weeks ago, one of the toads stopped eating. I wasn't too worried because he seemed healthy and wasn't acting any differently than usual. But now it's going on two weeks. He still looks fine and all, but I can't figure out why he won't eat. We tried putting him in a separate container, and while the crickets walked all over him, including across his face, after about 15 minutes he still hadn't eaten any of them. He won't eat the mealworms either.
Now, I don't know if this is a coincidence, but just prior to this happening, we tried feeding canned dead crickets for the simple reason that our pet store always runs out of live crickets and I was hoping the canned stuff would work as a back up. It didn't. But this one toad hasn't eaten anything since...........
Anyway, our house temp. is 75 and their water temp. is 70 degrees.
Any ideas would be so appreciated, as I'm really starting to get worried. Thank you!
