hate to be the bearer of bad knews.
but i dont think that frogs or toads make adult stem cells wich is the
only way its gonna grow back a leg.
if it breaks a leg itll be ok itll heal over time like ours do but if
you cut ones foot off in a lawn mower it probably
wont grow back im not sure i might be wrong.
but it wouldnt be as painful as our foot getting cut off because they
dont have as many nerves in them so it
probably could move and lead a long life but i wouldnt expect to see
him hoping around anytime soon.
sorry
