Can you release tadpoles back into the wild?

Answer 1

According to amphibiancare.com/frogs/caresheets/americantoad, "Never release an amphibian back into the wild once in your care to avoid introducing foreign pathogens to wild populations. Instead, only collect a toad if you intend to keep it for its entire life."

Other sources state: Toads kept in captivity for months or years can carry diseases into the wild that do not affect domestic toads but can seriously affect wild toads and such.

In addition, an older toad that you've kept may not be able to cope alone, fend for itself, or find its own food if simply released back into the wild.

Therefore, if you can no longer keep your toad, please hand him or her over to an animal welfare agency or an animal welfare sanctuary who will provide a good home and more space in a natural but safe environment.

Answer 2

It depends it natural traits. But it will probably won't survive.
