Posted: 23 Mar 2010 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.  |

Posted: 24 Mar 2010 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! Gwent Amphibian and Reptile Group (GARG) |
