But for now, I&#8217;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<p>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&#8217;ll be able to find one!<br>&nbsp;<br>Wait! What&#8217;s that over there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2026it&#8217;s perfect!! A toad-ally awesome toad house, just for me! It&#8217;s the perfect size, it&#8217;s a little damp, and it&#8217;s nice and cool. Plus, it looks like someone set up a little bath for me! I can&#8217;t wait to move in. This is the perfect spot for me to spend the last bits of warm weather.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/HH-toad-house-855x455-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-594675\" width=\"768\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/HH-toad-house-855x455-1.jpeg 855w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/HH-toad-house-855x455-1-300x160.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/HH-toad-house-855x455-1-768x409.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/HH-toad-house-855x455-1-696x370.jpeg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>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<p>You see, when it gets cold out, I go underground to overwinter. It&#8217;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.
