Toads in my garden, are they dangerous. Will they stick around or leave
I just went out at night in my garden and can hear rustling everywhere.. at first I thought it was rats then I see it's toads. Probably over 10 of them. Are they bad for the garden.
This guy is your & your gardens best friend.I wish i had one in my garden.

No. Depends on if you have an environment suitable for them to live in. If not send them to that guy who posted here yesterday who bought frogspawn

Your garden won the lottery. Yes, they are VERY dangerous for slugs. Unless you keep pet slugs or you’re rearing slugs for the kitchen, toads are your friend. You are very lucky to have them.

Very dangerous so you’d best relocate them to my garden as I am trained in the special toad dance.

Do you have dogs? They do secrete a poison that can harm or kill them. I wouldn’t touch them with your bare hands, but otherwise they are great for your garden.

See if you can make a little covered area for them if it gets too hot.
Growing up for some reason Telford was toad central, we always left jars on their side in shaded corners or planks of wood propped up against fences to give them little shelters.
They’re great: you can pet them, they don’t damage anything, they look cute as hell. 8/10, fantastic animals.

cats tend to attack them which is a pain as they are useful in the garden.. i woke up one night with a frog on the side of my face. cat thought id like a toy to play with.

can anyone tell me why toads never run away or move even when facing danger? the OP is recoding it close up but it’s just sitting there not running. they never run in all the videos I see of them. they sit there unfazed or walk slowly. that’s not a good survival trait is it. how have they lived this long without going extinct

You are privileged if they stick around or not.

Nothing in UK is dangerous other than Reform party.

It’s all good!! They will eat all the slugs and snails in the food chain. Your flowers and shrubs will love them for it!! These pest cause so much damage to plant life.
