| After 5 or more years of ponding I finally have two frogs. The pool is between the woods and the pond so any frogs usually die in the pool before they make it to the pond. This year we didn't open the pool (bit mistake in my opinion) so two little frogs made it to the skippy filter this week.
Of course I realize they may not last long if the snake finds them. They would make a good snake snack. |

| I realize this is an older post but we live on a small farm (we are hay farmers) with creeks, springs, a farm pond and an under-construction koi pond (not yet stocked or ready). I LOVE frogs and toads and we have tree frogs here and I am hoping we will have more frogs and tadpoles when we get our koi pond finished. I picked up a toad the other night and 'petted' him. He curled in a tight, nervous ball and I tried to soothe him and let him go right where I picked him up. Of course, the snakes or various large birds may eat him but I loved him for just a moment! |
