toadily crazy out there tonight!

Interesting, I never really thought about it, but toads do share hiding, and feeding places quite a bit. Maybe they're more social than they get credit for.idunno

Was sitting in garage reading earlier and swore I heard Hans' little chirp outside. Oh no! Ran out there and heard it again up a tree. Saw Greta looking serious. My head went right to a bird having picked him up and pecking at him up there. I just stood in yard looking up til a bird flew out of the tree, then I looked around for Hans and found him intact and unmolested under siding. Stupid bird.
I did find their sleeping space, it's quite nice and I hope they winter with us. Greta disappeared underground for a few days so Hans was our guest in spare tank Fri night til lawn was mowed. He ate a waxworm, nightcrawler, soaked, took a poop, and burrowed: perfect. He even peed on my jeans when I went to put him back outside before work Sat. Greta reappeared Sun. Anyway, some pics:

Cool, outdoor pets.

Yup. Bf hates it, is afraid I'll take them both in, but I LIKE that they're outdoor pets. If they stick around, or go elsewhere to hibernate and come back, I'll always recognize Hans. And call every girl toad Greta. Forever.
Think they should hibernate here tho. The pics are of their "house", or rather the doorway to it. I've seen Greta climb out and shimmy back in when she saw me. It's positively cavernous, in that you can't even see her when she goes in there. They've hollowed out the underside of those rocks pretty well. Wasn't able to sneak a pic of her last night, tho i did try.
