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?


Green frogs don't generally stay in the pond outside breeding season. He'll
(probably) find a nice spot to hibernate in outside the pond. That said,
people _do_ find dead frogs in their ponds most springs. Be sure that
there is a way for the frog to get out of the pond.
