This was an interesting article I came across and it is sad. I hope they can find out what's wrong with the toads. http://www.newsnet5.com/irresistible/4425511/detail.html

WOW, while you wouldnt think it could happen, it is plausable.

its like why they dont throw rice at weddings anymore... it kills the birds. Alka-Seltzer also can cause a bird to explode. I wonder if they find the reason. They say no bacteria and no virus has been found, how bout normal stuff, and explosives... someone could be stuffing the frogs with something, or feding them something that is causeing this to happen

that would be my guess as well, someone is doing this to the frogs. that is just horrible. I would think though that they would have checked for something like that. So it might not be something so simple to trace. I don't understand how people can be so cruel to animals. if in fact that is the case.

bunnies and Alka-Seltzer don't mix.... any animal that does not have the ability to burp has issues with stuff like that....Poor froggies

Its those damn crows. I shoulda known.

As far as the rice and wedding thing, birds don't a problem with rice. That's just a myth that was put out by the people that had to clean up the rice.

REALLY??? I guess bubbles are much cleaner, and well birdseed magically disappears. That's why there's no more rice at weddings. :hmph:

 

[momtobrenna]

I hope they find out why soon. Sounds like it could make a real mess. :lol:

I have personally never done anything like that, I just hear the stories.

This is a sight I place near 100% confidence when it comes to what is real and what is myth:
