It seems no matter what animal I come across, I try to turn it into a pet. This little toad sitting beside our porch looked a little depressed.
Maybe he would like some meal worms ...
Apparently he likes them - quicker than I could press the camera button, three mealworms turned into one. Notice how the position of his feet didn't change.
Another worm...
Gone! Again, quicker than I could press the camera button. Again, his feet didn't move.
OK, here comes another one...
Yes! Finally an action shot!
Another one approaches...
But apparently Mr. Toad's tummy is full or he just wants to be tickled under the chin ...
Susan, I am sitting here at work and laughing out loud! What a great capture of something so sweet that we seldom see. Thanks for the smile! Toads, lizards - they are all pets.
Someone sent me a link to your blog because it featured this toad! Great pics! I thought I was the only one in NC who has discovered the joys of feeding toads worms. I have a toad who I call Jack who lives under a rug in our rock garden (a rug I won't remove because he has claimed it as his home.) I discovered he would eat earth worms if I threw them to him. He has fattened up in the past month! He and his friend come out to sun in the broad daylight on the warm rocks. It's hilarious.
You have a nice blog - love it! I'm a big wildlife / bird / pet enthusiast.

A collection of notes and photos - most of them taken at our home on Lake Gaston, North Carolina. Pets & wildlife are my favorite photo subjects. Visit my Lakeview Aviary website for info and more photos about my indoor finch aviary.

Did he come back the next day for breakfast?
Thanks for these cute photos!
Yes Mary, I've been known to give mealworms to the lizards too!
And Laura, I haven't seen him since last evening - didn't realize what a sweet deal he had here, I guess.
Are you sure he didn't get wedged down there?
Laura,
He was gone a little while later.
