I have a 60gal kidney shaped pond.
I clean, put the green frisbee pond heater in, take the pump out and
cover it with half inch square plastic screen griding.

Last year the frog stayed under a rock under the water all winter. This
year will he be alright?
Yesterday, I did the winter close up. The frog was not in the pond when
I started, but when I picked up a flat rock by the rim he was under, he
jumped in and is floating with his eyes and molth near the top, happy as
could be.
Do frogs usually stay under water or on land?
I'ts not a big bull frog, but smaller.

=======================
The frogs in our ponds stay in the pond all winter. They remain in the
small amount of plant and leaf litter on the bottom. Most survive.
Occasionally one will not make the winter and I net it out in spring. I'm in

Someone else will have to help you there as I got the original information
long ago, before I got online. I'm sure a quick Google will get you there.

Yup, I agree with froggie info.

This newsgroup has been under siege for almost 2 years, thus the ponding
posts are few and far between, thus we regulars have become more irregular.
I use to check in constantly thru-out the day. Now more like once every
other day or 3. Many old RPers lurk, but they rarely post due to the trolls
now days. Those of us sticking with it have our kill-filters loaded with
them. :-( ~ jan

Peter,
in Britain female frogs overwinter on land - usually somewhere protected
from frost such as a hole in a wall. Male frogs overwinter at the bottom
of ponds, ready for when the female frogs return in spring. They are torpid
so don't need more oxygen than they can absorb through their skin.

Neat. I'd never heard that. We often point out to posters that most frogs
(in North America, where most of us are) overwinter on land, but that's the
first time it's been suggested that for some species it's a gender thing.
I always figure they'll work it out for themselves whether they're supposed
to overwinter in the pond or out!
