Got an over-amourous frog eh? I know all the pond books talk
about them but not what to do with them when you catch them.

Maybe K30 has a clue?

I've got a bit of a rouge frog.

I'ts spawning season for our frogs here in the north west of England.
And the ones that live in my pond have been doing what nature demands.

Sadly I found a dead frog at the bottom of the pond . Clealy a mating
casualty as the male frog was still clinging on to her! I felt sorry
for this chap so I got his lady out of the water gently removed him
and gave her a funeral.

Today 2 days later i find him locked on to one of my young Koi ! with
his front feet IN its gills. Naturally I quickly netted the fish and
got the frog off. The fish looked ok but I did let it back into the
water quickly . I might catch it again in a couple of days to check it
is OK.

The frog I've just set loose in the garden again though if I find him
locked onto a fish again I think I will give him the boot ( not sure
where to though)
