Hello you lot, I'm wanting to give toad scenting a go so just wondered...
Has anyone ever done this? and if so, any tips?
Wilbur is still not eating his pinkies and although it's tempting to just grab and use Lewy's toads  I think they are poisoness to little Hognoses, so I'm off to buy a frozen frog or lizard (if any Reptile shops around here sell them).
Not really sure what I'm doing, so if no one has any advice I was just going to keep the frozen frog/toad/lizard in the bag with his pinkies and maybe give them a quick rub together before feeding.
What do you think? |

Your a star!!!!!
Lewy drives past there every day on his way home from work. I'm going to text him and tell him to buy me one and then you'll have saved me a couple of quid  |

I can't, I'd never see him. He'd always be on it 
Saying that though, he's not the one who blew up the lawn mower today, better find a comfy spot on the stairs eh? |

Definitely, and some laminate flooring, a shower, a dishwasher and a new lawn mower too
We would like more snakes, but with us both working full time and Lewy having his stag to work on and me being an addicted net nerd, the house isn't getting the time it deserves. When we get sorted and settled we might get a BRB, but 7 snakes, 2 toads and 11 fish are enough for the minute.
Not going to try the toad scenting today, because Lewy said hoggies can sometimes be tempted to eat using mouse tails. They are smaller to put into their mouths so could be just enough to get them started.
I hope poor Cyd doesn't get confused though- she's going to wonder if she's made the first ever known discovery of the lesser spotted Manx mouse |

Just to update- the mouse tail didn't work 
So I took some other advice that Lewy had picked up and moved him down to a smaller rub. He was only in one of those terranium things, but Lewy heard that hoggies really, really don't like big spaces, so I put him in a 3L Rub that only just about fits his hide, water bowl and himself in it.
Tried to feed him again today with a brained pinkie, but no joy.
Definitely time to bring on the toads mi'thinks! |
