New tank setup!

[Poly]

Yes, I notice that! I figured I'd see it less, but it seems to be much more active now.

Just watch it without a lid. My toads happily climb plants to the top of the tank. It's very nice looking though!!

[Poly]

Thankyou Amy!

I don't think I will have any problems with my toad climbing out though, it's too fat for that... hahaha! Seriously on that point, it seems very clumsy and akward!?

Moss looks nice, but it's a major impaction risk if you feed them in the tank. Toads are rather clumsy things, and they often miss with their tongues and can easily ingest substrate by accident. Sometimes mine miss the same fruit fly 2 or 3 times in a row and I just crack up. So cute. They can leap pretty high, so I echo Amy's sentiment about a lid.

[Poly]

Well, I'm going to get myself one of those "heat-resistant screen lid", so that won't be a worry for much longer. And what do you mean about the moss, it's soft...?

[nicodimus22]

When toads eat, they aren't very careful. They can easily eat substrate or anything that was around their food. If it's something that will easily pass through their system, it's not a big deal. If it's something that doesn't easily pass through, it can basically plug up the toad's intestine and kill it. This is called impaction. Moss is something that is dangerous for a toad to ingest, because it can make this happen.

I have a logs and sticks that are partially rotted, and if it were it grab some or the rotton wood and the wood stuck to it's tongue, I suppose it could swallow that aswell? Is it better to just feed a toad in a seperate container? And how much food does a toad of mine's size require? How often? Most of the care sheets I've read seem to be for full-grown toads!
