Default More dead frogs

As you all now we pulled the net off the smaller 800g+ pond and have no


fish in it. It's for plants and frogs and whatever else decides to move


in. With the net gone something, possibly a cat, has picked off every
frog and eats it's legs off. We find the bodies near the same tree abou

t
20' from the pond. There are no more frogs as of last night. We start

ing
to feel this pond is a draw for frogs and something else that feeds on
them. This is a real downer. :*(

I watched my brothers Staffordshire terrier grab a frog in his mouth a fe

months back, the frog, I think must have secreted something from its skin

because the dog soon dropped him un-harmed and ran round the garden with
a
foaming mouth for 5 minutes , he has never touched a frog since. I would
have thought a frog would have had the same effect on a cat.
