So I noticed a toad in a window well and am wondering if he/she will be ok there. I went to take a pic and now see three toads!. It is only wet there after it rains. Right now it is damp from my watering. I don't know much about toads and don't know how much moisture they need. So anyway, do I have to worry about them being there? Should I move them? I'm kinda thinking that they got in there on their own and know how to get out. Any suggestions?

Well, they left of their own accord, so all is well.
@itsmedammit oh good I was wrong and I'm glad about that x
They will be fine. There are not many places a toad can't get out of. They undoubtedly feed on the mosquitoes that come in there at night. And there are microscopic bugs we can't begin to see.

Thanks. I figured they'd be ok. I will let them be. If they need moisture, they'll figure something out.
I would gently scoop them out with my fingers..no food there either.

Just leave them alone, they can normally crawl out of a lot of places we don't imagine. I have a pond liner draped on the outside of my pond, they scale it with no problem.
