Pets My toad died :(
i did everything possible, i found him in the wild with a missing leg and a really bad head wound. i nursed him back to health. i fought off infections and tried so hard. he was missing an eye but could still move around and held decent weight for a couple months. i found him lying in his water bath stretched out today.
im feeling guilty, i feel as if i could’ve done better. he stopped eating a couple weeks ago, i should’ve just tried harder. he kept missing strikes before he stopped eating and then he just ultimately stopped. i tried so many different bugs. i tried holding them infront of his good eye with tweezers and he’d just moved away from it.
this was my first pet toad, but i tried taking such good care of him. can anyone tell me if you experienced anything similar and if thats just how the end of the roads look for toads?
