Japanese Toad

[kueluck]

I have a friend from Japan and she said this: "One used to live in our yard. That one in the video is still young. The big ones get 2-4 times bigger than that. They r called Ushi-gaeru, 'n it translates to "Cow frog." They r known to protect your house/land if they live on ur property. :] They r pretty much like bullfrogs."

I would love to know why they call them ''cow frogs'' when there toads (bufo japonicus/common toad). And why are they like ''bullfrogs'' i dont understand?

Forgive me for dredging up an old thread but I am curious to know what website you obtained the toad from in the UK? Even if they don't sell to the US, perhaps they can help me contact the place that supplies them with the toads and I can fallow the information to someone who does.
