In the past, I often heard adults say that a toad wants to eat swan meat, which is a metaphor for those people who are not strong in their ability and daydream every day. So do we really know the toad? Today, Xiaobian will take you to know about the toad, that is, the toad, which has been despised by everyone for a lifetime!
Toad is an amphibian. Because it is ugly, it has many pimples. There are poison glands in the pimples, that is to say, it is full of poison! So it is also called toad, but most children can’t tell the difference between toad and frog. But it’s true that frog and toad were very similar when they were young!
But why should Xiaobian introduce toads? Because in recent years, there is an emerging industry, toad breeding, because the artificial breeding of toads makes toads medicinal. In fact, toads can be used as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases. In fact, he is not good for nothing, but ugly!
So it’s OK to breed toads. What do toads eat is a problem? In fact, the most popular breeding method now is to breed toads in rice fields, because toads actually feed on pests. For example, the natural enemy of grasshoppers is toads. Using toads to control insect disasters and insects to raise toads at the same time is really a way to achieve the best of both worlds. Therefore, most farmers now raise toads in reservoirs and rice fields, which also saves a lot of costs!
Moreover, toads like a humid environment, so generally speaking, they come out in the evening. At that time, it is basically the end of pests, because there are many pests destroyed by adult toads! But the only bad thing is that toads can hibernate. Like frogs, once the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, they will stop eating, and then start a long hibernation until the next spring!
So when toads hibernate, farmers may have to invest a lot of food, but toads are generally unknown and picky eaters, snails, beetles and so on. They are basically not picky eaters!
