Toad House

An easy way to make toad and frog houses for your hopping critters can be accessed here.

With that process in mind, a bit of looking around on the internet came up with some classy accommodations for toads that can be purchased here (picture also courtesy of that site):


DIY showed the handmade toad house below.  That required a clay pot, glue and pebbles.
Our backyard toad is a big fellow, so he needed a fairly large opening for an entrance.  Using a galvanized steel vase turned on its side and half filled with dirt, here is what I came up with:

It took several days for Mr. Toad to find his new home, but hopefully we can keep this renter through the rest of the summer.


Amazing how his toady skin is camouflaged in the dirt!

  1. What a great idea, Nancy!!! We don't have toads here in our yards anymore, but even for decorative purposes...or who knows, maybe they would come back if they had a home to come to! :=)
