[view] What is the best way to raise frogs ??
I have a bad tub that my dobermann uses to cool off in. Every now and then, after a heavy rain, a mummie frog leaves her eggs in it. I take them out put them in a safe place to grow. I feed them lettuce. Is this the best thing to do ?? I have no idea what sort of frog they are but the eggs are black with a little white spot on them. We have rocket frogs, green tree frogs and some others (unidentified) living on our block.
[view] How long does the cane toad remain toxic after death? Question was asked by tour guide who was dubious of burying in case goannas (or anything else for that matter) dug them up for food. What would be a good way to dispose of carcases if they remain toxic.

ToadBusters, Bob Goninon (man), Bhapaning (woman), Goyma (boy) who together caught this huge 20.5 centimetre, 861 gram male cane toad at Lee Point Coastal Reserve, Darwin, at 9pm Monday. It is the biggest toad caught by FrogWatch volunteers, which has collected more than 40,000 toads over the past two years, fighting off the exotic pest species' northern invasion. The Lee Point Reserve has been described by FrogWatch coordinators, Graeme Sawyer and Ian Morris, as one of the last preserves of the iconic reptile species, the yellow spotted goanna. The toad was found among nearly 40 others in a 'breeding frenzy' at the edge of a coastal waterway after recent monsoon rains.
