hippy chick Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Today i had to rescue a small toad from one of my chickens beaks. The poor thing was being bashed around by her and it has got a broken front arm. I have put it in the nursery tank with the tad poles. Is there anything i can do for the poor little thing?

Olly Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Oh dear - sorry, no advice - I guess it will either survive or not ... sorry to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Nature will probably sort things out.Sometime the limb shrivels to nothing in these cases or it heals itself albeit wonky. They often cope though (or not ) At least it is a front leg and not a vital back one, it may well adapt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy chick Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 The little toad seems pretty much the same, although he is swimming about more now. His arm looks awful though, its really twisted but there is no break in his skin. He is eating gold fish food and I am going to try and catch him some small flies overnight. I hope that he doesn't start eating my toad-poles though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklyrabbit Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Aww, thanks for letting us know - fingers crossed. Hopefully he doesn't like toad-poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
