Default Update - Toad Injured or deformed.

Took everyone's advice. Purchased some mealworms and crickets.

I was able to get closer to him/her (how do you tell?). The front leg
definitely looks chopped off. But is also has something not right with the
back. It really has trouble moving. Poor thing also looked very thin. It
couldn't move fast enough to get the crickets but sure gobbled down the
mealworms. I tried an earthworm but it didn't seem interested in that.
Other suggestions? De-winged house flys? Moths? We do live in the woods
so there is lots around if I can catch them.

I tried to purchase a Toad house but non in stock. He/she has been hiding
between the rocks by the pond. I did some rock arranging to give it better
hiding and will try for something more comfy over the weekend. I should
probably let nature take it's course however as humans we don't like to do
that do we. Besides anything within a 20' radius of the pond gets special
care.
