I'm not 100% sure but I think frogs and toads puff themselves up to look as big as possible so they are less tempting to preditors - maybe it thought you wanted to eat it :lol::lol:

Poor we lad. Toads can suffer bloat but usually they puff up by stretching out their legs, inflating their lungs with air, and leaning their heads downwards. Since its not the breeding season I doubt he is courting you. He probably felt threatened. Possibly a bird flying overhead or a lurking cat set him off.
