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

[LilyPad]

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.

That is funny Pete, I would have never guessed that. The 2 bigger toads snap up worm pieces like they are candy!

Last night she ate at least 5 fruitflies. Granted the other toads eat like 20, but it's better than nothing. She is still defecating too, which is a good sign. You cant tell in a tank with 4 toads if someone isnt going potty, so it helped to move her out to keep a closer eye on her. We will see if she continues to improve or go back downhill. She is still incredibly skinny compared to my other toads, they are all getting nice and fat.
