My toddler has been playing with this frog for the last 3 days or so. He has named the frog "Earl".
My wife and I have set this frog out 100+ yards from our house but he keeps coming back to play with my 3 y/o makeshift sandbox. I know it's not venomous, but is it safe to put in a terrarium, what does it eat, and anything else that I might need to know? Google says it could be one of like 6 species of frog/toad. We live in the Appalachian Mountains in Northern Georgia.

Question I had a strange experience with a toad that I cannot explain other than spiritually. Looking for Feedback

so i took a spadefoot toad inside, about 2 years ago or so. Placed them in one of my vacant terrariums to upload photo before releasing. They burrowed all the way down. disappeared. never found them again. I often will hear what sounds very similar to that species call, intermittantly during the night. Tonight , I took everything out of the terrarium to the bottom, went through all the soil and drainage rock layer. No bones, no remnants, no smell. There's no animals I've ever had that eat bone, nor that could fit this toad in their mouth.

one of my friends in my spiritual group said hes heard of similar instances, where an animal comes to a person, they find them, etc, and somehow they completely disappear.

I'm still in a bit of shock, but my spiritual side of my brain is like, oh yeah this makes sense, while my logical brain is like, completely confused.

Context, I don't use alcohol or any drugs (not even marijuana). I'm actually in recovery from addiction. I have no explaination.

I wanted to post this here as frogs and toads are a huge part of my practice and has been since I was little.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with an animal? Any feedback is appreciated.
