hi there!

i was recently given an albino woodhouse toad because it is ill. the little guy lists to the left side and looks a little bit bloated. his left arm is ever so slightly swolen than the other one. at the store i noticed that there was a little bit of shedded skin stuck around his left hand which i gently teased of with mists of water and my fingernails.

the little guy is alert and spunky, but all the times iv looked at him in the store there were loose pinhead crickets in his cage. i saw him eat with gusto last weekend.

i have him housed in a little tank (with coverd sides) placed in a larger tank heated to about 85 degrees. he has dirt, a fake plant for a hide, and a shallow water dish.

the guy there reccomended treatment using Furacyn, a general fish antibiotic commonly sold as Bifuran. i havnt used it yet, and im not going to try to feed him for a while.

i have had toads and frogs as pets for many, many years. i had a pac man frog for fourteen years, and iv had my whites for five years. one iv had for nine.

any input or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
