RE: Kids roaming the woods

I've had a very active little green toad living in my greenhouse this
winter.  I never know when he will jump out of a pot and give me a start!
I'm not sure what he is living on - maybe eating aphids & a few baby slugs?
The hibiscus have their usual coating of aphids on the tender tips.  He is
more than welcome to them all!

We lived, in the summer,  near fresh water streams.  It occurs to me that
slugs are not seeing enough toads in suburban locations as they require
fresh
water to breed.  Maybe translocating toads is not a bad idea.  There is also
a woodland frog.  This frog is a slug predator.  We have many woodland
frogs.
 I have not see either supplied for gardens but it might work if shady cools
spots were available for them.  They are harmless to plants.
