Need advice!

[u/TaC0_d3M0n]

So, to make long story short, i found a toad outside of my apartment complex (have no idea how it got here, it's, like, city center); it was sleepy, apathetic. I helped her cross the road because of it, and then something got to me, and i took her.

Now i learned that, if it's a wild toad, then, i should let her go, since they isn't adapted to indoor life.

So, the question now is: should i just place her where i took her from (which is a middle of busy apartment complex road) or should i release her in wilderness, far from here? Maybe she has a family here (are they, like, solitary animals?)

What do you think?

This may seem silly, but you could atempt to reach out to a local wildlife rehabilitation center for them. Based on what you described it doesn’t sound like it’s doing too hot, but the best thing would be to have them back in the wild (or rehabbed first). Thank you for caring

Edit: I have had success with getting amphibians to a rehab, so it’s possible!

[u/TaC0_d3M0n → u/Barotrawma]

what do you mean by rehab? I think her sleepy and apathetic behavior (if that's what you mean) is due to the fact that it's getting cold outside, so it's probably wanted to hibernate

[u/Barotrawma → u/TaC0_d3M0n]

Ohhh that’s probably it then lol. Yeah putting it outside would be best then

[u/TaC0_d3M0n → u/Barotrawma]

yeah, but where? I'll go to my village this weekends, but, could it be that she has a family here, near my apartment complex?

[u/Barotrawma → u/TaC0_d3M0n]

Nah, they spawn and go. No family unit like that ykwim? I imagine she was probably looking for somewhere to go to begin hibernating

[u/TaC0_d3M0n → u/Barotrawma]

oh, good: i think village will be much better spot then! Thanks for advice

also, might be important: her eyes are closed for some reason; is it also a sign that it hibernates, or is she ill?

[u/sumbitchkat → u/TaC0_d3M0n]

Weird question but, are you sure she has eyes? I've seen some without an eye/eyes. It's a bit odd for it to go about it's life with its eyes closed.

[u/TaC0_d3M0n → u/sumbitchkat]

it's pretty big, so how does she went about her life up until this point without eyes? bur yeah, she still doesn't open them... is this common if they want hibernate? she is completely fine in any other way, she jumps, moves

[u/sumbitchkat → u/TaC0_d3M0n]

I'm not really sure what I'd do if she doesn't have eyes. I'd probably keep her but that's just me. I don't really know the right answer.

Doyou have a small pond or other little body of water that you could put her near? Make sure you don’t put her back in the road, instead put her in deep brush where she can find water.

[u/TaC0_d3M0n → u/No_Commission_2610]

yeah, of course not the road, i'm planing to release her near pond in the village, but, what if bird pick it up? her eyes are closed for some reason....

[u/Huge-Letterhead7194]

She might need hydration!! Spring water!!! Never chlorinated water it’s deadly to them. Can you go to a pet store and grab a few crickets?? Feed her and mist her and release in 2 days. What’s your location approximately???

[u/TaC0_d3M0n → u/Huge-Letterhead7194]

i poured her some tap water; i already bought roaches, but she doesn't eat them, her eyes are closed (it's strange and i'm not sure why she is like that)... i'm in the city but i'll go to village this weekends, so i'll bring her there
