Just got a Woodhouse's toad for the museum that I work at. I've noticed how curious and responsive they are which gives them some charm. Didn't really expect that cuz our other frogs are way less responsive.

Good info thanks you. Found 1 today outside my house in Phoenix az. He was munching down grasshoppers 😂

Thanks for the video, my whole family was squealing in delight at their cuteness. Quick question--Are you certain Woodhouse Toads' lifespan is 2-4 years? We have two and the thought of having them for so short a time is awful!

Hi Dan, I reached out to our resident expert on toads and here's what he had to say. "The Woodhouse’s Toads life span is normally 2-4 years, depending on their environment. They’ll sometimes live longer in captivity since they don’t have to fight for their food, and there are no predators to hunt them. In captivity, they might be able to live up to 6-8 years.

@@FontenelleForest Thanks very much for your reply! Grateful to know, but sad too-- we were hoping they'd live more like 10-15 like some other species. Will just be sure we make the most of it!

Thanks for the informative video! I'm positive my boy, Kiwi, is a Fowler's, except for two reasons...His dorsal crown, color, patterning, personable/reactive personality, and relative size are identical to that of fowleriil, yet the sound of his call, fact he has a small black spot below his throat, and high elevation area (Colorado Springs) where he was found isn't "right". The call also sounds nothing like fowlerii - it's very quiet (we joke about saying how he would attract a dog with his "squeaky toy-ness"), then again he is assumed to be around 1 year and 7 months - under the age of sexual maturity which is 2 years. He could just be "practicing" and has not reached adulthood. Overall, I'm convinced Kiwi's pure Fowler's or possibly a hybrid (bufos fowleri x woodhousii). I'm doing even more research to double check :)

Btw his "rescue" was pretty intense. We suspect he was attacked by a raccoon or barely got away from a bird. The skin on his left arm was completely ripped away and slightly bleeding when my Mom first found and brought him to me. Fortunately, I had honey on hand. I applied it and within maybe a a week or two, his arm was completely healed! Now Kiwi's "living the life" in a 12×12 terrarium but should be moving into a 24/30/36" bio-active enclosure! He's a spoiled boy feeding readily on anything that approaches whether it be his staple of fingers, Repashy Meat Pie or the occasional wax warm, mealworm, or even berries in gelatin (yet planing more variety)! What an imperfect, beautiful boy he is! :D

@@rat_dragon Male toads make a chirp sound if they are grabbed by other toads(or by humans), as a way to let other male frogs know to leave them alone and not try to mate with them. They chirp especially if you touch their sides. Some toads will chirp if their back is touched. Here's a southern toad chirping when picked up by people. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cytFx5zMEbg.htmlsi=xTHvXvA4QyhEpUQo
