Home For Toads
8 Answers
I`ve found a toad in my very bone dry (at the moment) garden. He's in the same spot as he was in yesterday and I`m not sure if he is OK. I`ll keep an eye on him. I see that you can buy terracotta toad homes but you can also improvise with a smashed terracotta plant pot. Has anyone ever used one of these and found a toad actually using it?

We used to get them in our garden in Devon as my Dad was a prolific vegetable grower plus we had dry stone walls so there was plenty of habitation for them. The garden here is so dry at the moment though. I will go over the area with a watering can later. Thanks for the replies.
Don't know much about bespoke toadtels but where I've found them in large numbers, is under a plastic garden storage chest, which sits on a bed of pea-shingle, must have been a dozen or more, I'm always careful not to move it now.
I have a stumpery where I grow ferns, which is also a good habitat for them to shelter and feed, always damp there too.

Chipchopper, yes, that is where he is. Right under the door so I have to be really careful how I close it as he seems to have made it his home. I put the watering can around the area to keep it damp. I might make a terracotta toad home for the winter and see if I can encourage some more. Goodness knows where they are spawning because nobody around here has a pond as far as I know.
