r/Toads

Raising awareness for a pet cane toad that has gone missing. Ages the toad is a big girl with a lazy right eye which sets her apart. She was last seen near the N Hwy 360 area of Grand Prairie Texas. If you are in the area or know someone in the area could you keep an eye out for her? Thanks, she is greatly missed.

He recovered a LOT but sort of hit a plateau because he was terrified of us and wouldn’t move or eat. So at our vet’s advice, we released him. I built him a toad shelter but he didn’t stay long and hopped off to his life in our backyard full of leaves and logs. I haven’t seen him since but I hope he is living his best toady life. Thank you everyone for your kind words. Most of you were very supportive and understanding.

Whenever I see any hole in the ground, I check it out. Never know what you'll find. Today, I found a toad gazing back at me. Cute fellow.

Hello, my male 7 year old rescued toad has always had trouble shedding his skin. I usually need to assist him by gently removing some leftover skin in water. Lately I've noticed these pink patches on his belly. I'm a bit concerned. He's had the pink patches for a few weeks now. They don't seem to be getting worse, but they're also not getting better. He also seems less active than usual. I'm hoping to get to a vet soon.

I'm just wondering if anyone here has had any similar experiences with blotchy pink patches, or maybe irritated skin from substrate? If so what did you do to help your amphibian? I do see him itching his skin every once and awhile. My biggest fear is red leg or something along those lines. I've kept his bioactive tank clean by removing any waste I see, but will deep clean just to be safe. He lives with 2 other toads that are perfectly healthy. I have him in quarantine right now.
