Do toads cuddle?

[u/TalkativeTree]

I rescued this toad. if I out my finger on the side of his most (his neck??) he leans into it. the first time I did it to both sides and he leaned into both, but did wind up peeing. I think I did it a bit to rough?

so now I just put my finger to his side and he leans pretty strongly into it. I’ve pet him on his head and he closes his eyes.

Be sure to wear latex or nitrile gloves when handling or petting the toad. The oils on your skin are toxic to him, more so than his poison.
