Yes actually. I took her out and tried what you said but it didnt want to come off even with a wet q-tip. I decided to get our out of the coco fiber terrarium thinking that stuff on her face could be from that substrate and the 4 other toadlets were just hoping and climbing on her and the fat one tad was starting to look at her like a meal.

I went and got a couple hand fulls of rocks about the size of the toad and cleaned and boiled them and put her in a small critter tote with water almost up to the surface of all the rocks. she finally started moving around a little more later that day that forced her in and out of the water a lot. the stuff started coming off her face and later that night I noticed the face had cleared up a lot.

This morning I checked her out and her face looked great. looked normal. still so skinny it was a surprise she was alive. I put a fruit fly in there and she actually made a attempt. followed it a little, struck at it and missed by a mile. But at least then I knew she had a working tongue and mouth and appetite! I changed the rocks around so there were only a few small ones sticking out of the water and the fruit fly could no longer climb up the side of the cage and leave cause it was stranded ontop of a small rock in the middle of the cage surrounded by water. baby swam over and climbed up and after a couple tries got the fly and took it down. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think I saw a tiny little smile after that and she already looks normal instead of anorexic. first meal since removed from the water 10 days ago. sitting up like a healthy little toadlet with her head up high which is also a first.
