I brought in extra dahlias for a coworker today. This cutie was in the wrong place at the wrong time

I'll be taking it back home. I may share plants but I keep my toads!!

As soon as I got home and set the pot back in its original spot, i mean the exact second I stepped out there, Toadey popped up!

"Home sweet home"!

One little tree frog sneaked into my house, but I could hear him bouncing around behind a stack of boxes. I chased him for a while, then was able to put him outside.

The cat was still struggling with "THIS isn't right!!", but he would eventually have figured out that he could "play" with frogs the same way he plays with mice, and I didn't want that happening.

There's something cheerful and friendly about tree frogs! I guess tastes may vary, but they seem more upbeat and outgoing than toads.

Cute, Jennifer.
Soon as I saw it, this came to mind:

"Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride
Ummmmm hummmmm, um hummmmmmm."

Y'all might be too young to know about Mr. Froggy.

Hhahahahahaaa too cute him popping out of his toad hole. You think he knew he was home?

We have Leopard Toads here. They breed in my pond. The fish eat the tadpoles. The ones that grow into toads then eat my fish. Circle of Life, eh? Petco gives me $5 each month because I buy so much pet food from them. I use it each month to buy gold fish to restock my pond. Hopefully some will become too big for a toad's mouth.

I never knew toads ate fish!

I know that song, Sharon.

Jennifer, a toad knows when it is home.

I know that song, but not sure Jen would.

Cute!

The welcome home pic is too good!

They look like 2 dif critters, ones timid and hidden, the latter looks bold and brave...with a silly lil mud hat!
I love!
I can drive 15 mins and find toads but I've never seen one at the farm, they really did a remarkable job of homogenizing the wildlife in central ky all those years ago...

I guess toads and frogs are pretty much the same thing, I always thought of toads as being little insect eaters, bull frogs I could imagine eating fish, they get so big around here.

RE: Toads/frogs and cats. Don't panic if your otherwise healthy normal cat (or dog) suddenly starts foaming at the mouth. It isn't rabies....chances are she's picked up or licked a toad. Toads give off some sort of bad tasting stuff that triggers foaming in predators. This is why you never see a half-eaten toad next to the half eaten mice, birds, etc that Fluffy drags in.

Good information to have, thank you.

The tree frogs pretty much took over the new kalanchoe with the wide leaves - sort of like a lilypad on a stem I guess. You can nearly always find one if you look. It isn't always the same one because the size varies a lot.

My toads prefer upscale dwelling places (see my icon pic)

Hey, Geoff! I see that my avatar frogs must be related to your avatar frogs!
