2 years ago, a bird dropped a female toad full of eggs flying over my backyard.
The two last summer were rainy and my old dog (nearly 17) provided the mysterious dark matter that keeps the flies near so the toad managed to survive.
This year the summer is going to be sunny, so i decided to make a house for the toads.

Put plenty of pot ground and allow soft slopes for the toads. Keeps holes open underneath so they can hide during winter.

Water
