I hear ya! I've become attached to my toads but if I don't release them, then I am defeating my purpose. I keep thinking about the risks of them getting run over or eaten! Yikes! When you work so hard to keep them fed, housed & healthy... it's hard not to become attached to their adorable little faces! But... in a couple months there will be tons of toadlets hopping around outside and I will start the process all over again to release next year, so unless I get another tank, I'll need the one I have now and you can't keep toadlets in the same enclosure as adults because the adults could kill them! I'm trying to put together a plan to build a greenhouse and would like to make it environmentally friendly for toads, which it will include a small indoor pond/fountain, large enough for them to roam around and I can turn it into a safe haven for them!
