I really don't think toads are very fussy.  Hence the expression "horny as a toad" I guess.

When I was a kid I remember seeing a toad clasping a rather unhappy looking goldfish in a very determined manner.  That poor goldfish was never the same again.

I've seen both, frogs on toads and toads on frogs, but if it gets you a lift to the pond, who cares what species it is!
