ive had my fire belly toad for about a month now and i just noticed that one of his eyes are clouded over. how do i help him?

same here, i've had mine for like 1.5 years and about two weeks ago one of his eyes got cloudy, please tell me any info. you find or what happens to your frog. thanks.

well his eye seems to have cleared up on his own, hopefully yours gets better!

thanks for the reply, glad your froggie is better, only hope mine will do the same.

I had several toads. They did that all the time. It was wierd. It always seems to clear up on its own. I don't know what kind of tank set up you have for yours. I had a 10 gal. and it was 1/2 land and 1/2 water. the tank was filled about 1/2 way. I did loose one toadie. I think he drowned (i cried) then i put an island in for them. It had a filter and a little tiny waterfall. I changed out 1/2 the water when theier eyes fogged over and it seemed to clear up the next day. You might also try a little tap water mixed with your de-clorinated water too. Sometimes something funky gets in the water and it needs a bit of chlorine to fix it. Just what I did. If you use declorinated water, be careful with how much you put in, they may not be used to it. if you use reg. tap water, you might try dechlorinated water....

my tank is also a 10 gallon, there is three of them in there and only one has the eye problem. they have a big water dish with lots of plants with a driftwood/"great stuff" background,. I never thought that beign rhe proble, but it very well may be, cause i usually just put drops in, never actually counting or putting the exact amount in, thanks for the help!

I've also noticed this with my fbts. I think its related to their shedding. I've noticed that they shed thier skin every few months. I've only managed to wirness this once as they tend to shed in the middle of the night and then eat thier skin. But I always notice the brighter colors after shedding. When I've see the cloudy eyes its usualy when they are dark with dull skin...the sign that they are going to shed soon. They seem to clear up after shedding. Don't know if this is what's happening with your frogs but something to consider.

i'm pretty srue thats what happened, it shed, but the skin on one eye just didn't come off, thanks for the info.
