You sound a little like me, I think I would have to take in any malformed ones if I saw them. I don’t recall ever seeing anything like that and I know my mum would try to help them if she saw any, if she finds a frog dead she gives them a little burial bless her.
We only have 2 types of frog in the UK, the Common frog and the pool frog. The ones my mum gets in her little pond are common frogs. I don’t believe I have ever seen a pool frog or If I have I certainly don’t remember.
we also only have 2 types of toad, the Common toad and the Natterjack toad. My mum gets common Toads in her garden but they don’t spawn there but she finds them hanging out in her flower baskets. I don’t think I have ever seen a Natterjack toad. From what I’ve seen in pictures they are a little like my Southern toad in their colouring.
I did play a recording of grey tree frogs calling to my two last night but they were totally uninterested.
my Southern toad has only been with me for a few weeks and last night I played a recording of southern toads calling and he turned his head but nothing. I went to bed and about half hour later my husband came in and said that he was having a little go at calling. I think that maybe hearing the toad on the video gave him that push to have a go. Just as well it turned out to be a male as his name is Trevor, after the toad in Harry Potter. I’m afraid I’m not very original when it comes to naming my frogs and toads. One of my Whites tree frogs is called Kermit and another is Freddo after the Cadbury chocolate frog.
In all I now have 5 Whites tree frogs, 1 Southern toad, 2 Yellow bellied toads and my 2 new Grey tree frogs.
