HELP!!! Black Toad Breathing Weird!!!

[LazyEyedFroggie]

Was he fully burried? maybe his airway was slightly blocked and the water washed it out, he also could've been panicked by something. Did you move something fast near him that may have frightened him? I have witnessed my toads breath heavily or "abnormally" and then be fine when they get in the water. I do believe that water soothes them and calms them. I'm sure it's fine Don't be worried. Let me know if he does that again

No, he wasn't fully burried, and he could of still got air, because the moss let's it through. Nothing fast moved near him, the only thing I can think of, is that he was looking out of the tank, and saw me open the room door, which might scare him..?

Once I put him in water, he was back to normal, and I've been watching him closely today, and he's fine, no abnormal breathing.

Thanks for the info!

Sorry to hear that .I'm glad everything is back to some what normal.

I'm glad everything is back to some what normal.

So am I!

[LazyEyedFroggie]

I guess the door may have scared him... but he sees it all the time, so I don't know why it would... Sort of a mystery I'm very glad he's alright now though! and you're welcome

Actually, he's only seen the door a few times, I've only had the black toad for 4 days now. Anyhoo, he eats like a champ, when I fed him at lunch, he took down 5 grasshoppers and 3 pill bugs, my brown one took down a worm, and 3 grubs.

[LazyEyedFroggie]

I know, I forgot about that in my last reply That's a great sign that he's eating so much! Did he notice the door the other few times?

[Poly]

I don't think so, this might be his actual first time looking directly at the door, when it was opened, all other time, he was doing something else.
