Very early the life of my pond we experienced a toad mass breeding event, but to my knowledge it hasn't been repeated. Back then we had a relatively small population of LMB, so maybe that was a factor.
I don’t have any LMB, maybe that’s why we keep getting these toad orgies.. I didn’t think there were this many toads within a mile of the pond. We also have thousands of big bullfrog tadpoles every year. I guess SMB do not bother with either of them.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
