It seems to be a bachelor, I've never seen 2 frogs. How does it cope
with the boredom?

Can they survive drought? I've been watering regularly round its
favourite spot but I'm going to have to leave the garden for a couple
of weeks and the forecast doesn't look wet. I was thinking of sinking
a plastic container with water into the soil underneath a heather
thereby reducing loss through evaporation. Or will he (she) just dig
herself down till it gets damp enough.

Are there any frog ponds nearby? I found one in my compost heap last year (a
frog, not a pond) and after some investigation I found he had gone
a-wandering from the pond of my neighbour four gardens down, which I hadn't
known existed (the pond, not the neighbour).
