My cane toad(bubby) shes constantly hiding, being innactive and whenever I pick her up she tries to "urinate" on me. Is there a way to get her to stop this? Shes been like this for a couple of months now. Is there a way I can get her to stop hiding constantly? Maybe Iam doing something wrong? I rose up the humidity up to 80percent. Temps are lowered to 72 degrees. Anything I can do? She eats. but not infront of me. :/
Ps: Shes also 4.5 inches long. I dont know her age. I dont know if shes extremely old or anything. Is there a way to tell?
Just leave her be, she'll eventually warm up to you. However, it may take a while.
Iam curious will she ever warm up? I mean now shes better than before. I can hold her for a few seconds before shes goes all crazy on me which first she kicks and tries to get off and then she urinates. Its annoying because its like a water gun. Its not drip its literary shot at you. I know its not really urine. I just wish I could get to see her more often. When shes actually out soaking or sitting around and I go to look at her. She freezes. When I turn around she frantically hides. Its kinda adorable but kinda annoying to look at. You'd think after so many months itd be used to you. But yeah.
Edit: Heck I wanted to buy a male because I have enough room for both of them. But I was figuring it maybe pointless. Though id love to hear their melodies. Ironically I love toad melodies more than frog melodies. Except coquis of course. But anyways I just dont know what to do. I only try to hold her everyonce in a while. I dont know if I should be doing it daily? I just do it every week or every other week.
I wouldn't bother hold her at all. I don't know a single toad that tolerates holding.
Give it plenty of time.
It can take months. My Colorado River toad still hides/fleas when I open the cage and I have had him almost two years now.
Just leave it alone for a while... The more you bother it, the longer it will take for it to get 'comfortable'
