Denver loves holding him but since they absorb water through their skin and not drink through their mouth you can’t hold them too often. They can absorb salt, oil, soap or anything else on your skin. We only hold him during tank cleaning about 1-2 times a week.

So, right now we’re worried about how skinny he is. He’s in with two tree frogs, a grey tree frog & a green tree frog. They are both bigger and we though might be eating all the food first.

Watching closer we noticed the toad following food around (crickets) but not eating them. Even small crickets. We also tried mealworms and wingless fruit flies. We even put him in a separate container for a while to see if he would eat. We’ve read that some eat in front of you. We put him back in the main habitat and he seems fine, just skinny. Here’s what a normal one looks like:

Some suggestions are to use an antibiotic spray or add to his water. I’ve called a local vet that specializes in reptiles and am waiting a return call.

Caron, however, is still my baby. And it’s going to be crazy, ’cause the new baby will be here in only 5 months!

Denver got a big huge cookie. He saves his money in his little bank and then we take some coins down and he gets a cookie. This was his first time getting a chocolate chip cookie and it was a mess!

This picture shows how blue the sky was.

I love this picture! We brought Denver’s wagon but he wanted to walk so he has to hold someone’s hand.

Now this is what you call street evangelism. This guy was preaching in the street! Not sure if this how I’d approach it but he’s a brave guy!

After the Farmer’s Market we walked across this sweet bridge that is downtown Des Moines.

Before we left, I had Carson in the driver’s seat. I have a picture of Denver like this too so I thought I’d grab one of Denver.

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 3GS.
