I have two firebelly toads and I think one is dying. He wont or cant move and now he wont eat. Is there anything I can do for it? The other one seems fine. I dont know how to make him better and I dont want him to keep suffering. What can I do?

Whenever you have one that looks sick or to be dying, seperate it as soon as possible so that the other remaining toad will have some kind of chance to live. This may be a sickness that the other can catch, but since you don't know right now it's better to seperate.

You'd have to go over your complete setup (substrate, temps. food offered, enclosure size, etc.) so that we can better understand what might be going on. If this toad dies I'd advice you to still do this so that you might be able to correct what's wrong. Sometimes, husbandry is the key to your successes/failures with these animals. Also, how long have you had the toads? Hopefully, we can all help you.

I have had them for about a year and their home has been the same. A 20 gallon container,a water dish big enough for them to swim and some sort of dirt and moss from the pet store. They are fed mostly crickets.
