Good day,
I've recently moved, and took my smaller (125 gals or so) pond with me...
I now have toads that have decided that it is a GREAT spot...and I understand that toads are a good thing environmentally speaking. The issue that I have is that they "could be" toxic to my dogs...
I've been "relocating" them to a creek a few miles away - (about 12 so far, with one more to move today). I have toad eggs in the pond that I guess I will wait until they are tadpoles and then relocate those.
Is this a "losing" battle that I am fighting? There aren't any creeks or ponds near me, and the neighbors don't seem to know where they come from. I'm trying to educate myself about toads and frogs, but I'm just not a fan. :banghead3:
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike S - St. Louis
