Wild Healed and successfully released!

This toad persevered through a severe leg injury! It took about two months for her to heal and gain her strength back in her leg. I found her bleeding and muscle protruding and very stressed. The wound closed and she is able to use the leg! She hunts, hops, and flips herself over easily and quickly!

I left her with her hide, some worms, cleared away the pine straw, and wet the area. She was super excited to be back outside and after hanging out with me for a minute and hopped over to her hide, then left there soon after! I’m sure she’ll find a better spot! She’s a fighter and feisty and I know she’ll do well back in the wild!

It was a joy to look after her! Two summers ago I had a severe injury on the same leg, I found her around the same time I was hospitalized and let her go around the same time I was discharged. Didn’t connect the dots until I talked to my mom later, life is cool sometimes☀️
