Toad migration begins - what to do if an animal gets lost in the garden?. The weather is humid, February is mild - a starting signal for toads to start migrating to the spawning grounds again.
Toads starve or dry out in light wells or on cellar stairs if they are not discovered and rescued in time. Thousands of frogs and toads die on roads every spring as they migrate to spawning waters. You should only take action if the animal is injured. Since common toads, for example, are very useful animals and even eat snails, healthy animals are best kept in the Garden.
