Hi, I’m Tendi the toad! <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had a great summer hopping around and catching bugs. I think I’ve eaten more than 10,000! After my breeding season in the spring, I left my lake for some summer adventures. I’ve even gotten to explore all around the neighbourhood! My friends and I found a few ponds that had loads of critters nearby\u2014that was probably my favourite part of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the weather starts to cool down, my summer fun is coming to an end, and I’ll have to find a place to spend the winter. But for now, I’m looking for the perfect place to call home! Wanna join me?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I need a little nook that\u2019s not too bright, a little damp, and has water close by. A little birdy told me that Earth Rangers everywhere have made lots of different habitats to keep us animals safe and happy\u2026 I hope I’ll be able to find one!
 
Wait! What’s that over there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2026it’s perfect!! A toad-ally awesome toad house, just for me! It’s the perfect size, it’s a little damp, and it’s nice and cool. Plus, it looks like someone set up a little bath for me! I can’t wait to move in. This is the perfect spot for me to spend the last bits of warm weather.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hold on\u2026 could it be? Someone also left a pile of leaves, compost, and twigs for me! You know what that means? I can even spend the winter here, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, when it gets cold out, I go underground to overwinter. It’s my favourite nap of the year! I use the little knobs on my back feet to help me dig down to my winter spot underground. I see a little opening at the bottom of the pile, so I can go in there and dig my way down. This pile of goodies will keep me safe without getting squished or stuck!

Phew! I feel a lot better knowing where I’ll go this winter. AND I’m so happy to have found a super cool toad house!
 
Thank you, Earth Ranger! You’re my Habitat Hero!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
