I have a problem with a couple of my toads, they seem to be almost constantly turning in circles and flipping themselves onto their backs before righting themselves again.

I can't seem to find a reason for this as the other toads are perfectly happy and do not do this.

Has anyone else experienced this and know what the cause is?

I've heard of a disorder called spinning, but I thought it was more a condition that effected larvae and tadpoles.

Unfortunately I don't have the facilities to upload videos at the moment.

It's just really odd. And it seems to get worse just after they eat and even during eating where they literally throw themselves about!

I've not got any experience of this before, but is there any chance you could get a video of their behaviour up for us to see. It might help us advise you better.
