The other day I went up to my room to get ready for bed. As is my custom, I checked on all my critters before turning off the light to go to sleep. Rats: all present and accounted for. Birds: cranky that the light is still on, but all there. Toads: there's one....uh, one....um..... Frantically I open the lid to the tank and begin searching for the missing toad. I know they're good jumpers, and though the lid was on and secure, I also know animals can be creative when they decide to escape. After several minutes of searching the tank, and freaking out the one toad I could find, this is what I discovered.
Trevor the trouble maker has apparently decided that the filter makes a good hiding place. Hide and seek is his favorite new game. For the past 3 nights he has been in the filter, sometimes so far down that I cannot see him at all, when I get ready for bed. I still check on him, tap the filter, just to make sure he doesn't get stuck. The filter is also off for now until I can get a replacement that does not have an open top.
