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

That's a good sign. Not eating at all is really the big signal that something is way wrong. I hope it keeps eating for you and is just a late bloomer as the growth goes.

I hope so too, I wonder if the big ones were just too intimidating for her, they would climb over her to get to the fruit flies! She would just end up in a corner.

That's initially what I thought about the toadlet I lost too, that it just was too timid. It would just sit in a corner while the other two toadlets mowed down all the flies. However, after the other toads were full, I put them back into their tank, and gave the smaller toad more food, and left it alone in the feeding container for over an hour, and it still didn't eat, so there was something else going on.

I have to laugh a little when I see my toads stepping on each other's faces. Sometimes I think they are mildly social, because I see them hanging out in close proximity, and then the next minute they're just like *TROMP* right on each other. There goes my theory.

It is funny how they will just climb all over each other! It's OOOOOO FOOOD! and off they go no matter who happens to be in their way!

Have yours eaten flies off of each other's back yet? I see that on occasion, too funny. It usually happens when one toad is full, and the other is still prowling around slurping up anything that moves.

No, I have not seen that one yet! They are usually all eating until all the flies are gone though, so maybe that will happen eventually!
