Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

ILL Fire Bellied Toad!Please,it's about feeding!
He is about two years old,and the smallest of the three.He lives with two other toads(of the same species)and one Gold Dust Day Gecko.They are all very healthy.He has gotten very thin,his tail bone even juts from his back.He still swims and hops around some,but isn't aggressive wnough to fight for his food.I could really use some expert advice,I don't want him to get worse or get hurt!

i would suggest to you to put him in a tank by himself for awhile... you say he is not aggressive enough to get food... basically its survival of the fittest... the others are "fitter" than he is and the competition for the food is too much...2 yrs. is a long time for that guy to be around so I would just do that... trust me... as soon as he sees movement from the cricket he will go for it... and with noone else to fight over it with he ll eat it right up... once he gains his weight back... reintroduce him into the community tank...

If he is indeed sick (probbaly not the case in your situation) there IS lots you can do for him!! Most importantly take him to a vet!!! they can give him the meds he will need to survive, or if you cannot find a vet, you can post all possible symptoms and causes of illness on here and order some meds on line. these little guys are by NO MEANS DISPOSABLE PETS, and they deserve the same medical treatment you would give a cat or dog, and if you are not willing to provide this you should not have purchased them. sorry if that came off harsh, and it was in no way directed to the origional poster (who probbaly just needs to isolate his frog and fatten him up, and then if that dosent work then take him to a vet) but i just cant believe the number of people who dont even entertain the thought of taking a herp to the vet, you never see topics like "my dog is sick help..." on the mamal boards, because it is common knowledge to take it to the vet!

I would have said the same thing! If one out of a group isn't eating or growing, the best thing you can do for him is to seperate when feeding...

re:feeding fire-bellied toad.
I have a 19 yr. old!! I have always put him into a small plastic container (with holes punched in lid) for feeding, then put him back in tank.
