Thanks | Common Toads vary immensely in weight.
Males: around 10 g to 55 g
Females: around 5g to 120 g (the biggest presumably being gravid females).
Can't find any figures for Natterjacks at the moment.

I did try all I could find was Cane toads at around 2 KILOS
Was there any particular reason for knowing the weight of
the Common Toad?
I only ask because I woke up in a curious mood today

Thank you anyway for trying | I've got a book on the Natterjack at home - I'll try and remember to look up weights tonight (but since I've only just remembered I have the book, you had better not hold your breath!)

henrya | How about this - I remembered!
But Natterjackologists don't seem to go in for much weighing. All I could find in the book were some figures for Swiss Natterjacks. Average weight of adults 19g, average weight of juveniles 3.7g.
