I would let them be. Frogs need love, too.

Might they be toads? Do you have a photo?

Seriously, though, I like toads. I would rather have more toads around.

What are your feeding your boxies?

 

[wellington]

I agree to leave them be. I love frogs and toads. Maybe place out two food dishes. One for your torts/turts one for the frogs/toads

Oh, put the toads/frogs dish on the outside of the enclosure.

More than likely toads rather than frogs. Are you feeding cat or dog food? Unless your toads are terribly hungry, I doubt they'd eat fruit and vegetables. Now, bugs and worms is another story.

If you're feeding bugs and worms, then you can just feed the individual turtles for a while, hoping the toads go someplace else to eat. What I mean is, find the turtles, and then place (for instance) a night crawler in front of each turtle. Keep doing that until all the turtles are fed.

You can also try to relocate the toads. When you see them, catch them up in a bucket and take them someplace else and dump them.

Wow! Who'da'thunk that a frog/toad would be interested in eating that type of food? You are truly blessed! (I love frogs and toads!!)

So there is no spice or like baking soda what I can put around that they don't like to smell and they won't come back.... there are too many,.
and I really need to know if one of my Boxie is eating or not.... I separated her from the others... but no I can't tell if she eats or not because of the frogs :-(.... That sucks

Tree frogs and your toads are your friends. Might be annoying friends, but still friends.

Are you saying they are eating the veggies? That seems unlikely.

The joys of living in Florida! Cuban tree frogs, an invasive species, like to eat the native populations of toads/frogs, so you just might have to pick your poison on that one. I, too, had about 4 toads living in my enclosure. I am down to just evicting one, however it is rather quick. I literally just put on gloves, grab a large bucket with a lid, and try to catch them. I switched my enclosure material to something the frogs and toads cannot easily squeeze through (hence my one persistent, unwanted guest). Maybe placing some different materials, like smaller gauged hardware cloth or chicken wire, will help keep them out. You just have to relocate the ones already inside. Best of luck!

Lol...they eat everything and they sit on the food and they don't want to move and then they eat and sit and eat..... I will take pictures tomorrow.
I will try to put something around the fence, so that they can't get through there anymore.
how high can they jump? my fence is knee high.

That looks like a toad.

And toads do eat plants. Usually, they skip plants if insects are available, though.
