I think you might very well win, Kayleigh. I've never seen a fatter frog.

Whatever it was she ate, it was definitely all of them.

She is amazing isn't she, she is tame now she let me get really close to her.

Dont think I can compete with Elaine, but here's my fat toad:

Unfortunately a bit out of focus! I found this one in my laundry room - goodness knows how it got in there! One time I found one in there that was really thin, poor thing had clearly been there for ages...

Crikey that is a fat frog! That will certainly take some beating.

Here are my entries, although I accept that one is in fact a toad!

Awww she/he is gorgeous I love toads I have them breed in my pond but very rarely see them..
Glad you saw him as he might need to feed up to get through the winter and in the laundry room he cant do that.
I think this is why the frogs are so fat at this time of year they need the extra weight to get through the winter.

Lovely amphibians there..
Looks like the toad is waiting for lunch to come along to munch on the cabbage, he has picked the perfect spot.

It was my wife who discovered the toad in the cabbages when she went to water the veggie patch. To say she was startled would be an understatement! Ran away would be about right! She was happy in the end though as the addition of the pond and subsequent frogs and toads meant a bumper crop.

I love toads too - and I have had far fewer slugs this summer since the pond has been in existence! They are very useful animals to have around - I cant understand why people dont love them more! (Though I understand Dave's wife's shock - I get a terrible fright when I find them in the house!!)

Here is my resident toad in the pond:

How lucky we are!
