o.uk:

Toads and frogs hide themselves in flower beds near the pond (I
surprised one about 2" long just the other day, when I was weeding)
and I think they do pretty much all sort themselves out. After all,
their primary interest is survival, so why would they enclose
themselves in a potential prison like a greenhouse if they felt
unsafe? ;-)

Well, what made me wonder was that the other day my rabbits decided to move
their cardboard box. They do that from time to time, but this time they
moved it over the exit to their bedroom, and then they were stuck!

Luckily I wondered after a day or so why they weren't coming downstairs and
moved the box for them - by which time they were very thirsty and relieved
to see the hole reappear!

This gave me a new view of animal intelligence.

I'm reasonably sure that bunnies are brighter than frogs, so it made me
wonder if froggy would actually be able to work out which bit was the door
/ bottom vents and climb out where he had climbed in, given that I've had
to move things round in there to spring clean it, and he looks a bit on the
skinny side...
