Hi
We have a very large natural pont in our garden approx 50 feet by 30 feet, which is a natural pond with a clay bottom - no liner Despite this we find the frogs will hide in the foliage around the pond and under rocks and stones and not the bottom of the pond, We have also a design for a frog and toad house the details of which I will shortly be putting on our blog in the garden wild life section.

you will find this at http://www.carreglefn-nurseries.co.uk/blog or via the link at http:www.carreglefn-nurseries.co.uk

If you e mail via the link I will let you have the plans anyway, but cat litter is not the answer.

this last spring which apparently had no place to burrow for the
winter and so they didn't make it. Thanks.
