Toad Abode Activity

Are you looking for ways to help amphibians right here at home? Build a Toad Abode and create a safe habitat for amphibians, away from their predators in your own backyard! Follow these fun, easy steps:

1. Find the spot around your yard where amphibians (especially frogs and toads) like to hang out.
   
   Hint: Try moist areas, or under lights that attract insects at night.
   


2. Purchase a terra cotta pot (any size will do, it just depends on how many visitors you'd like!).
   


3. Decorate your pot — you can use earth-tone colors or bright, tropical colors.
   


4. Place the pot upside down on the ground, and prop up one side using a rock. You've just created a safe, new home for a nearby toad.
   


5. Wait a day or two and see if any visitors move in!
