The toad is active from late May to September. The rest of the year it is dormant, hibernating under the ground. In early June, when temperatures rise sufficiently, the toad breeds, with eggs hatching within a few days into a larval form (tadpoles). The tadpoles metamorphose into tiny toads in about thirty days.
