Cane Toad Questions

You must be a registered user to add a question
[view] Where did Cane Toads come from?
[view] Do all Cane Toads have poison in their glands?
[view] What can I do to stop Cane Toads
[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.
[view] What's the best way to make sure our pup doesn't get poisoned by a cane toad?
[view] My husband and I live in Humpty Doo on 5 acres of mostly rainforest. We are concerned about the cane toad invading our space. We are currently installing a 70cm high barrier of corrigated iron around our house yard, apporimately 35x60 meters. Will this keep the buggers out? or is there any thing else that we can do?
[view] If we kill toads by freezing them, and then bury them or place them in compost, will the poisonous toxins affect or contaminate the soil and other worms, insects, etc and if we add the dead toad to the compost heap how soon do the poisons break down?
[view] We have a large fish pond and obviously need to do something fast. We have black weed mat on our fences for dog control. How effective will this be against cane toads? And how important is it to have a barrier which is sunk into the ground - I've read it needs to may need to be about 10 cm deep. Would a combination of the mat and a sunken barrier be effective?
[view] What is the best way to deal with gates? They obviously need to open and shut and often the ground they swing over is uneven?
[view] I live on a rural property and was breaking up a fallen log which was approx. 60cm across which was partially eaten out by termites. Inside at the top of the log was three large Cane Toads. Can they climb, if not how would they have got into the top of the log?
[view] Is there a way to tell, with any certainty, cane toad tadpoles from our native frogs?
