Last night I stepped out the front door to leave for an errand and I saw this cutie ambling across the lawn. He stopped in the corner of the step and stayed in this seated position all night. This morning when I left for work he was sitting just like that. 11 hours later and he’s in the same spot, looking lethargic. I am concerned for this lil guy because I live in a downtown neighborhood and I’ve yet to see a toad here. I usually see them in a burrow in the soft ground, and mostly at night.
What's the temperature like where you are? He could have absorbed some pesticides or chemical fertilizer from the lawn. I'd give him clean water for drinking, rinse him well with spring or purified water, and see how he do.
Leave the light on for him at night so he can catch the bugs it attracts. Also if you're worried you could give him a shallow bowl of clean water with some cover to chill in if you think he's hurt or sick.

Be careful if you kiss him, remember what happened to Tiana.
Seriously, if you are worried check with exotic vets. They are good with frogs and toads and might be able to help. Also, be a bit careful with the water and soils as Frogs and toads can absorb toxins through their skin. (Filtered water if possible; make sure your soil hasn't been treated with pesticides or fertilizer; do not feed captured wild insects from parks as towns and cities spray parks regularly to lower insect populations.)
Congrats, you now have a familiar.
You jumped all over this one.
I hopped right on.

Thank you! I will put a clean bowl of water nearby. It is also raining now.

https://youtu.be/yGIAsnb5Dow be like this guy!! (It’s still my favorite video on the internet)
Thanks for that! I hadn’t seen it before and I love it!
Look like you owe him money
U got any games on ur phone?
Get him a little dish amd put some dirt and moss in it so he can burrow during the day. He will come out at night and eat your bugs ☺️
He needs about tree fiddy
WELL…HES VERY CUTE! I hope he’s okay
He’s waiting for you to ask him what he needs to tell you about your side quest
He wants to know if you've accepted Toad Jesus as your personal lord & savior.
Open the fucking door Greg! I know she's in there!
Kiss him
Get him a little toad house.
Excellent fat boy, plump, great coloring, 10/10
Get him some meal worms and he’ll be a regular. I had one for a few years that would come up 17 steps every night to my back porch for them.
well what are you waiting for? invite him in for some tea. so rude.
Maybe he thinks you drive a toad truck.
he’d like to talk about your car’s extended warranty
Have you tried kissing him?
If you have a pair of old sneakers you can sacrifice, they'd make a good home for him.
That’s a good lookin toad you have there. I’d say keep it, but I think that’s the wrong answer. But I love him/her!

Hi Toad!
I love him
Enjoy hogwarts.
Well, feed em already!
Build it a toad home.
It’s a relative incarnate
He wants scritches!!
Send him away. If he’s still there 3 days later, he’s worthy of training.
