Default OT? Keep finding dead frogs

"Mentalguy2k8" wrote

On the front path and driveway. Seem to be fully grown, no bits missing, no
obvious injuries just dead and still clammy. I've found 6 so far. I'm not
near any kind of "frog habitat" that I'm aware of, but I do know we have
foxes around at night. Long story short, the front garden (or the air?) is
the only possible way for them to end up where they do and the front garden
has a pavement and road to the front, and same to one side. I've never seen
a live frog in the garden, they just keep turning up dead although they
look alive and I make sure I poke them to be sure.

Either I've upset the French Mafia, or there's some other explanation.
Anyone got any idea? My money is on the foxes or cats, but I just can't see
any injuries on them.

Cats are either frog catchers or not. I've had 6 cats and none of them have
bothered about frogs other than to take a look to see what is moving. Yet a
neighbours crazy cat is always catching frogs however he just presents them
alive to his staff and they get put back into the pond area to be caught
another day.
