All of our amphibians lay their eggs in water. Most frogs, toads and salamanders like to lay their eggs in small ponds where there are no fish to eat the eggs or young. If the young amphibians grow and change to adult shape quickly, the eggs can be laid in ponds that dry up by late summer. So some amphibians breed in ponds that fill with water from melting snow in spring or heavy rains in summer. They can live in places where there are no ponds or other water for part of the year.


How do amphibians feed their young?

They don't! Most amphibians are generally independent from the moment they are born. However some, such as the worm, feed their young their own flesh. Amphibians do not feed their young. They lay the eggs in water and leave them to fend for themselves. They are also quite likely to eat their own young. That is why they have so many eggs.
