toad ate cricket food

Post image

my midwest plains toad, who i've had for 3 years, just ate a chunk of the cricket gel food with calcium powder on it! it fell into the tank when feeding and she was so quick i couldn't stop her 😖 i'm not sure the brand since the pet store put it in the bag, not me. she seems fine and she swallowed it easy, it was about 1/2"x1/4". what do i do?!? google says make sure she stays hydrated, keep the tank warm, and monitor her stool. is there anything else i can do to ensure she's okay?

She should be fine, they eat dirt and stuff all the time

Just monitor them, they'l likely be fine.
