I think I'm losing one - Update - Toad Died :(

Species in which the parents produce a large number of offspring, of which only a few survive to adulthood. In other words, toads lay hundreds of eggs and most of them don't make it, so don't feel too bad.

Thank you. I meant to expand on that and then got totally distracted.

I googled it It makes sense, you just hope to overcome that by putting them in a controlled environment.

She's still with me today. I actually got her to eat a leaf hopper last night, I have no idea if that is safe or not, but she hasnt touched the fruit flies and my daughter was out catching leaf hoppers, so I tried it.

Glad to hear that. Is it still soaking? Mine stopped going in the water near the end.

I have never seen her soak at all, I do a lot of misting because of it though, so I was hoping that was helping.

Glad to hear it's eating. Maybe it just doesn't like fruitflies. Maybe you found one of the only food snob toads.

On the subject of snob toads, I've read that American toads will gobble up worms, but Fowler's toads shy away from them. Strange, eh? They're practically the same species, they even cross-breed.
