Helping a little toad I found.

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

Well when I was seeing off my wife to work this morning.
I found this little toad hopping around my feet.
Thankfully I didn't step on the little one.
This is the first toad I have seen in years at my home.
Thankfully I couldn't resist picking it up and taking a look at it.

To my horror I found that it is missing its right foot. And the wound is pretty fresh.
I looked around to see if it was close to the area where I caught it but all I saw was my neighbors cat
licking its lips and none to happy.

I took the little one inside and got my magnifying glasses and checked the little one for puncture wounds.
Thankfully I found none.



I am contacting my vet for instructions.
but it is hopping around the little hospital bin like nothing is wrong.
what a tough little baby.

I am going to get some pin head crickets and see if it will eat.
Now I have it in a 9X6X4 plastic bin with a towel over it to keep it dark.
to hopefully keep the little one calm as much as possible.
