Hi
We had some flash rain this afternoon and when I got home, I noticed movement in the toilet bowl right before I sat. When I looked further, there was a 5 inch dark green frog (i think it is a bufo toad) Interestingly, my wife had used the toilet about 30 min prior and had cleaned the interior of the toilet with a brush without noticing anything and flushed.
We managed to escort the frog out...
We live near a pond and have been in the Tampa area for about 5 years. We never had anything like this happen before. We used the city sewer. I read online that the frog could have entered through the sewer system but find it hard to believe. We dont leave our doors open and no one had gone out from that side of the house today.
The questions I have relate to preventing this from happening again (we have young kids and we don't want to have to inspect the toilet bowl every time we have to go)
1- if it got in from the sewer, is there a way to prevent it from happening?
2- where else could it have gone in from? Should I have an inspection with a scope of the toilet drainage system? How else to prevent this?
Thank you for reading through
