Poor Little Toad Came Home in a Boot from Honduras...needs a home!
Hello! My bosse's son spent 4 months workign at an orphange in Honduras. He got back to Columbus Oh on Friday (December 18, 2009) and on Monday when he pulled his boots out of his suitcase and started to put them on....a 2 1/2 inch toad popped out. The poor thing must have been in his boot since Thursday (December 17th) when he left for home. Well, they just put it in a plastic container...and figured it would die. I heard about it and went over to pick the toad up.
I have no desire to own a toad (we foster dogs and cats and own several cats and dogs of our own as well as two rescued hamsters and an African Frog that came froma Kindergarten classroom.) I put the little guy into a 1 gallon aquarium with some moist paper towels on the bottom (he has to be dehydrated, right?) I don't know what else I should be doing for him in the meantime.....but I would LVE to find him/her a good hoe where he won't be used for snake food or harmed in any way. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Cynthia
