Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
My daughter found these toads on the outside of our cellar window several years ago, or rather: maybe it was this big toad that has been living there for years, but certainly not the baby. There's quite many toad babies now:

She is quite fond of them, as fond as she is of almost ANY animal:

But she was not willing to kiss this frog that we found in my cousin's garden pond, just to see whether it'd say "poooof" and suddenly it would be a handsome prince. She claimed that
a) it wasn't wearing a little crown, anyway, and
b) that she wouldn't know what to do with a prince right now, anyway:

smart daughter....princes are over rated....

go for the foot men......always need a good foot rub.....

great shots, lafoto...love the "green" color on the last ones...
 
Wow, I love the 4th picture! The frog seems so comfortable :D!
 
Thanks, you two.

And no one says "How cuuuuute" about the baby toad????
How come, I wonder, how come.
If it were a puppy or a kitten............................................ ;)
 
Well, you can't really cuddle with a toad now, can you :hugs:?
 
That is something you would want to discuss with my daughter... ;)
She finds them cuddly enough and holds them all the time. Often though, these creatures then take most daring jumps out of her hand and fall a distance as if a person were jumping off a skyscraper - and survive easiy. Amazing, really. But I rather she leaves them in peace!!!
 
I also used to play with bugs, frogs, and lizards when I was little. Now it doesn't seem like such a good idea :). She's just exploring the world around her. Nothing wrong with that! BTW, how old is your girl?
 
12 already.
Much beyond the "exploring" age... but at 2 she still sometimes accidentally murdered the creatures she played with :shock:
 
Hehe, yeah, that happens when kids play. As long as they don't do it on purpose, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe she will become a vet, who knows? Does your son like animals as much as she does?
 
I thought the real colorful frogs were dangerous!
 
Great photos but I am not a 'frog lover'
could not pick one up

Little late replying, but great photos, especially the frog ones. I burst out laughing at his expression! (Do frogs have expressions? hmm)

At least there are animals to play with. I had the joy of playing with daddy long legs, and having slug races. (No jokes). The largest frog/toad I have seen in my area is about the same size as your 'little guy'. Then again, when I was visiting Switzerland many years ago, I do recall seeing a toad up in the 'mountains', that was similar to the larger version. Would that kind live in those conditions in Switzerland?

*stills laughing about the frog pictures*

I'll say it. I think I did in the other frog thread. Love these guys! :D Thanks for posting these.
