So far, the only toad that I can pick out from the others is Clarice, she is the biggest (and hungriest) of all of them. She is the most active and the most friendly, always popping out to say hello when I'm around.
One thing that I noticed with her though, is that the toads on her rear feet "tremble." It's not just occasionally or when she's doing something specific, it's all the time. She'll be perched on a rock and trembling, hunting down fruit flies and trembling, sitting in her water dish and trembling.
Any clue what this could be? I was a bit worried about MBD, but I've been dusting her crickets daily and she was too freshly morphed for her to really be lacking in calcium and vit d.
Other than the trembling, she appears to be in great health, but one thing that I've learned is that a little sign of trouble can spin into something serious fast. Let me know if you have any ideas!

Toads and related families (e.g. dart frogs) use the toes on their hind feet to entice prey.

There is some discussion of this phenomenon here also:

I noticed my toads do this too but it seems to me like they do it like my leopard gecko does it. they do it right before attacking. Here's a video of someone else's leopard gecko doing it. my leopard gecko is so old he doesn't do it anymore but thats basically the exact same thing my toads do with their toes before they strike.
