Default Wintering Frog In Pond..

Would anybody have a way to winter a bullfrog in our pond? Have a pond
approx. 2000 gal.
Deepest part not quite 3 ft. deep. No soil,mainly gravel & rocks. Would
appreciate a good idea.

Thanks Paul

Why bother the frog? He or she will know exactly how to winter over. :-)
I have several ponds and let them do their thing. Most hide under whatever
littler is on the bottom. Occasionally one dies over the winter and I net
it out in the spring.

Put a pot of mud on the bottom or shelf where it won't freeze, he'll find
it. ~ jan

Paul, the easiest way to do it is close your eyes and open them again in the Spring. Frogs in nature don't ask for our help. He'll have a better chance of survival being left alone to do his own thing rather than being brought indoors into a stuffy aquarium.
