Thanks Dogghound - that explains the 'lagging behind' that seems to be going on!
I checked them all a bit more thoroughly when putting in water cress this morning, and one - only one - has back legs. So I guess he'll start snacking on his more backward siblings, given half a chance. Family life, eh
Will they be alright overwintering in the (very wee) pond? And is there any advice on how I can make that more likely? (First pond as well as first toads, so please forgive the ignorance)
Cheers
