Hello and thank you for the article, "Toad Basics." I have three toadlets, about the size of nickel. I believe they're California Toads. My daughter and I had about 150 tadpoles this year and successfully raised them to toadlets. We kept the last six of them to see if we could raise them to adulthood. We lost three out of the six and are trying very hard to provide a good quality habitat for them. We have ten acres and have seen numerous adult toads and have identified them as California Toads. Although we did end up with 9 tree frogs and successfully released 7 of them we did not see anyother species within our tadpoles. Anyway, just thought I'd say hi, and let you know our story...I'll provide some photos soon. See ya!
