We have a pretty small pond; one of those kidney-shaped plastic jobs you
pick up at Menard's or Home Depot. It nestles snugly in the corner where
the
steps to our deck meet the pavers bordering our backyard. Probably a foot
deep at it's deepest.

Last week, a green frog took up residence here. We like the frog just
fine,
but we live in Northern Illinois and the pond is not deep enough for him
to
spend the winter. Can I relocate him somehow? Or maybe take him inside
during the winter and keep him in his own tank?


I would let nature take it's course. They seem to know when the water is
too shallow and move on themselves. Even in deeper ponds they sometimes
don't survive the winter as I found out.

Frugal ponding since 1995.
