upsetting sight

I've lots of toads laying spawn in my pond at the moment but I was really upset to see two large females with lots of males clinging on them that had burst open. One was already dead and had spawn and intestines coming out of its side. Has anyone else seen this and could it have been caused by the attentions of the males?

Mornin' PP. Fingers crossed that your toad spawn turns into lots of tadpoles and eventually baby toads!

A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
