Sigh. Despite the joking going on in the topic, they are a serious menace to dogs. That is so sad. Hoping this kitten stays away from the toads and focuses on chameleons for chasing.
Back to the original question, I have not seen the toads show aggression. The problem is the pets want to hunt the poisonous toads. If the pet figures out the toads are bad news, all is well. My cats will sit with 20 toads around them and won't make a move, even though they love to chase things. Of course a kitten does not know better and has a low body weight that could be susceptible to the poison, so I would keep it away.
I cannot feed my lets outside, period. Mongoose by day, toads by night, and feral cats by night and day. In fact, all these pests try to sneak in and get the food fairly relentlessly.
