Moll. 1,793 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Toads....have started to call and mate again...what's happening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KittleRox 2,147 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 They,re Randy I,m no a toad expert lol but I would think its because of the fooked up weather, 4 seasons in the space of a month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Lucky b*****ds! Maye it's because it was warm earlier on then got real cold again. Never known toads to mate this late before though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never known toads to mate this late before though. I,m just theorising again ( too early for big words lol ) but the period of warm weather then cold then warm again may trigger breeding behaviour , like natures built in safegaurd if you see what I mean ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 It would make sense. The spawn in my nans pond got killed by the frost this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,793 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Has to be the weather, but never heard of it ever before. Two different places i have heard the toads calling. Then yesterday found a couple paired up in my garden. Then late last night i couldn't shut my door properly, switch on the light and found these two had made their way up a step to get into my cottage....were they planning on spawning in my bath This was after a day of Swallows constantly flying into and through the house looking for somewhere to build a nest. I'm moving out, cant take any more animals here 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenny14 656 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Same here, saw fresh Toadspawn just a couple of days ago. Also seeing quite a few Leverets about that must've been born around Christmas time. Nature is a weird thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
