Sourcing of frozen cane toads
Hi all, I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't come up with anything...so where do you all get your cane toads from for dissection. We have a supplier, but looking for an alternate choice.

Re: Sourcing of frozen cane toads
I live in the Northern Rivers NSW, and we're inundated with the bloody things. Catch them in a trap (half-full bucket of water) or by hand, put them in the fridge overnight to send them into aestivation then whack them in the freezer to kill them. My record is 20 in one night, which just shows what a massive problem they are in terms of suppressing native frogs (not to mention the predators poisoned by eating them!).
