Re: Fire belly toad won't eat!
I think before you force feed you should find out why he isn't eating. Does he have a parasite or something else? Really without taking him to a vet or someone really knowledgeable about them its going to die whether you force feed it or not. IMO
sounds like its to late thought...

Re: Fire belly toad won't eat!
Don't feed him waxworms, they are not good for Fire belly toads. Here is a link that gives you some good info. How to Care for Fire Belly Toads - wikiHow
Also, how about liquifying various foods and feeding it to him via a syringe? That way he gets the nutrients without having to spend a lot of energy on digestion.

Re: Fire belly toad won't eat!
LOL Vendetta should I get a cross and the holy water?
Sorry to make light but I couldn't help myself...also I am curious as well if these were a spur of the moment purchase or not. Not judging just curious. It sometimes happens to the best of us.

And i've heard that "force feeding" can break the jaw. so i don't think i'll risk it.

Good call, much safer to let it starve to death instead.
