Do toads like water?
The animals we call toads generally have bumpy skin and spend more time on land. Toads do need a ready source of water—not to swim in, just for a daily soak. Your garden will be most appealing to toads if you put a mini-pool near a toad abode.
Do toads take in water through their skin?
Summary: Most terrestrial amphibians acquire water by absorption across their skin rather than by oral drinking. During periods of rehydration, frogs and toads adopt a posture termed “water absorption response” (WR), thrusting their hindlimbs backwards and pressing the belly surface on to any surface containing water.
