Such as Great Crested Newts and Natterjack toads have suffered declines. This loss is primarily due to massive losses of ponds, which has happened as farming practices changed and development replaced these vital survival sites for amphibians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpotting the difference between frogs and toads is relatively easy once you know what you’re looking for. Frogs have smooth skin that is greenish-brown to yellow and is moist, with a brown patch behind the eye. Toads, on the other hand, have bumpy skin which is often brown and drier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir diets are relatively similar as both will eat slugs and snails. But toads will also eat ants and travel further for their food whereas frogs will eat flying insects and beetles. Their taste for garden pests makes them an ideal friend for gardeners. The saviour to the common frog and toad has been the increase in the number of garden ponds and toad houses providing alternatives to their lost wildlife habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2021-02-15T11:57:13+00:00","alt":null,"width":900,"height":934,"src":"\/\/wildlifeworldtrade.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/frog_and_toad_900x_6ef30b02-deb1-4222-a664-4b903c226ea3.jpg?v=1613390233"}},{"id":243186434241,"handle":"simon-king","updated_at":"2024-11-28T01:25:51+00:00","published_at":"2021-01-28T11:11:48+00:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Simon King","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eWildlife World have worked in partnership with Simon King OBE for several years now.
