Answer 1

go to a pet store and they will tell you everthing about the toad.

Answer 2

Kiss him

No prince

Send him home!

Answer 3

Put him back where you found him. Hes not meant to live in a house. Take him back to the lake, for his own safety.

Answer 4

please put him back now would you like someone taking you out of your home

Answer 5

Yes put it back if not only for his sake than because it is illegal to take animals out of the wild (unless you have a wildlife rehabilitation license)  - You did not rescue him you are probably terrifying him.  

Answer 6

If he or she is a native species, then a heat lamp is unnecessary.

They are good things to have in a garden if they choose to stay with you because they eats things like slugs which will damage your garden plants.

You could make an area in your garden as inviting as possible and then free him to take over clearing all the creepy crawlies.  You can still put out food for him.

If you like reptiles, have you thought of having a proper vivarium, keeping perhaps some more exotic species which have been specially bred for domestic living?  Your local pet store will be able to advise.

Answer 7

Let him loose! He needs to have his natural habitat around him in order to live. I'm pretty sure you can't domesticate an already wild toad.

Answer 8

put it back where it belongs... if you really like the toad...you'll give him freedom... if you put it back in the pond and it follows you...that only means that he likes you...only then will you actually have the right to keep it....it's a living creature...it has the right to make decisions too...after all... this is a free country....

Answer 9

You didn't "rescue" him, you kidnapped him from his natural environment.  Return him to a grassy or woodsy area and he'll be fine.  He'll die if you try to keep him as a pet.

Answer 10

Please just put him back where you found him.
