| Urgent suggestions needed... Today my son spotted a pickerel frog partially frozen into the ice on the surface of our pond. What he noticed was a slight movement of the frog's leg. I removed the frog from the ice and put it in a bucket until I figure out what to do. I've had this happen with a green frog in the past but come spring time I just had a dead frog decomposing in the pond.
Ideas? |

| Is your pond completely frozen over? Do you have fish in your pond? Does it freeze solid? My little 600 gal pond is frozen over but I have a bubbler keeping a hole open. I have fish. I also had a lot of frogs this year. I sunk "frog pots" plastic flower pots with batting in them for the frogs to snuggle into. I have tried to get extensive information on frogs and have not been very successful. I would sink a frog pot or 2 and put him in the pond if it does not freez solid. |

| Here over on Long Island I've had frogs just sink to the bottom of my little 18" deep 200 gallon pond to winter over. I do run a bubbler and the frogs and fish do fine as only the top inch or two freezes solid. |
