Re: my first Swedish toad!

in my defense, we really DID try to take a picture, but the camera took like, a million years to take the picture and it didn't focus. we tried twice and then the little guy had had enough. i think he's living in my garden tho, so i'll try and get him again tomorrow!

Haha, the translation's not too far off. The common name is simply "European common toad". They are pretty cute

Re: my first Swedish toad!

you should give him a toad abode. You might see him around a bit more then.

Re: my first Swedish toad!

Anything he could hide under and a spot to stay cool and moist would be nice and tempting.

Maybe a half of a clay pot or something like that.
