Well, I have just started making a terrarium for Frogs, Toads, and Fish. I just moved in to an apt. with a LARGE pond in the center of it. So I figured I would get some of the native frogs/toads and put them in my tank with my Fire Bellys. Some of the local young girls were playing in the pond catching frogs, I decided I would pay them a dollar for every frog they caught for me and got some of the local tadpoles as well. Two days later, one of the smaller ones came up to me carrying a medium sized toad in her hands. Its and American of that I am sure, she told me that she though it was sick, and asked if I could help it. So I took the little guy from her. She told me that it was easy for her to get because it wasn't hopping.

So ive put it in my tank with the others on the grass I have growing. It just sat there. I went to bed and the next morning I found it with its back legs sprawled out behind it. Head slightly berried in the dirt. So I picked it up, and looked closer at it. It pushed weakly on my hands with its back legs, but both its fount legs laid there limp. One I had it cupped in my hands it stop pushing and just sat there. Quite a friendly little guy I thought. Then, if feel over, its front legs berried under its body, and its head kind of snuggled between my fingers. CUTE!!! But, I notice that its front legs did not move at all. So I lifted it up and moved its legs around thinking "Maybe its broken", now i assumed that if it was hurt it might try and get away when I did this but no, its just sat there. I set it back down in the tank, and went about my business.

However its been 5 days now, and poor little toad hasn't moved much from his perch in the grass. I have placed worms, crickets, and shrimp pellets in front of it hoping that it would eat it. but the poor guy hasnt eaten any that I have seen. Now I have around 10 frogs, and 2 fire bellys in my 150 gallen tank with the toad. So I put about 20 crickets in the tank every 3 days. It might have also eatten the pelets but it doesnt look like any of them are gone (Didn't count them). So here I am worried about my poor little guy.

It was ribbiting ( would say croaking but I dont want you to think it died) today when i picked it up. That's a new development.

Any advice would be grateful!
