Hello,

my mother in law was using the strimmer in the garden and hit a toad (we think it’s a toad!) my partner and I wanted to make sure it was ok so we put him in a bucket (that’s all we had) with some water and leaves and a plant and hoped it would survive.

this morning we found that although he hadn’t really moved, he had moved closer to the water and was alive! We fear that his legs may be broken (although we aren’t really sure) and don’t want to put him into the wild as we don’t think he will survive.

my partner is going to pets at home today to buy him a proper vivairium but we don’t really know how else to care for him. We don’t want to take him to a vet for fear of them putting him down but would like to know if there’s something in particular we can do for him. Can his legs heal?

Anything you can suggest will be greatly appreciated!

p.s we named him Oswald as it means power!
