Default Frogs in garden

this is probably a daft question, but I will ask anyway.
my cat just found a frog in the garden and not for the first time.
the cat is indoors now and the frog is outdoors.

our garden is surrounded by fencing, and I assume that the frog somehow
came
in through the fencing. I am sure a close neighbour has a pond.

question - will the frog find his way back again? should I pick him up
and
ask the neighbour if he wants him back?


They tend to wander about quite a bit, probably foraging for bugs etc.

We get them in our very dry garden. They come across from the canal behind
our house. I'm sure that yours know their way back to their pond :~))

I have frogs by the score in my garden, whenever I cut grass or weed
they pop up. The area is completely fenced in with rabbit proof fencing
and most are much to big to fit through. I was clearing out the grids
the other day, which are covered by a fine mesh, there was a very large
frog. My assumption is they get in when tiny, then grow, as is their
wont, though what the frog in the grid fed on I cannot imagine.
