Hi all,

I have 3 FBT's and have 2 questions...
Firstly, 2 of them always seem to be together leaving the other one on his own? Should i get another toad for him to hang out with or are FBT's usually okay to be on thier own?

Second question is with regards to 2 of my FBT's mating... they seem to be 'at it' at least 5 times a day and to be honest, it kind of looks like one of them is literally raping the other one. I would pu this down to normal behaviour but the toad that is 'recieving' doesnt seem to be enjoying things and looks to be desperately trying to get away but can't so in the end just lies there motionless.

Is this normal???

Mine do it all the time. You're "receiver" might actually be another dude who, rightly so, isn't liking what's going on lol

A female which is not ready to lay eggs will act unreceptive as well. Sometimes it takes my male a month of "effort" to get her ready.

I had a problem with a trio of FBTs where there were two males: every time one male succeeded in breeding the female, the other male would eat all the eggs.
