Look at the picture below and you’ll see that a frog can excrete a HUGE amount of waste in comparison to its body size.

People who aren’t familiar with frog droppings sometimes see this and think it is algae by the pool or just dirt. But it’s often frogs that are the culprits! This is why I suggest trying to keep frogs out of your pool if you can.

Difference Between Toad Poop And Frog Poop?

Do toads overeat?

Usually, Frogs and Toads don’t eat much they know their limits, but since toads are bigger they eat more than frogs hence poop more.

Why is frog poop so big?


Why is frog poop massive? since toads eat a lot of food they must poop a lot. Adult toads have a much broader range of food options and are less at risk of suffocating themselves.

by instinct, they do not know when will they get their next food. this uncertainty and to prevent starvation in event of non-availability of food makes them eat a lot.

Another reason for massive pooping is that Toads and frogs feel no pain while dropping massive feces and makes them adapted.
