I Have a Frog!!!!
I was just out using the PondTabs that RichToyBox told me about, and I found a
frog. I don't know where he/she came from. I live in the high desert and have never seen a frog anywhere near my house. I just received some plants from a friend, I wonder if it came from there. I didn't get a real close look at it, but it looks to be a light green with maybe some bluish around his eyes. I am so excited. This maybe a dumb question, but... Do frogs mate? Do I need more frogs to make more frogs? I hear you all laughing already. hehe BTW, I am working on my pond website, hopefully will have it up soon. ShawnAnne High Desert, zone 6 |

Shawn wrote This maybe a dumb question, but... Do frogs mate? Do I need more
frogs to make more frogs? Do bears... never mind, ;-) Yes and you'll know it when they do. Males will call, each call is pretty specific to the particular frog you have. Frogs usually move about when it rains, or in the cool of the night. Frogs lay their eggs in floating jelly like masses. Toads lay their eggs in jelly like strings. Some frogs are more aquatic that others and will hang in and around the pond. Others leave for the trees (treefrogs for example). Toads breed in the pond and their babies leave to be land dwellers. Go to google.com and enter your state name and native amphibians. You'll probably find a page that might help you ID the fellow you have. Let us know what he is if you can ID him! k30a yearly brother website posting http://www.30acreimaging.com/ |

Remember the line from the movie, "If you build it, they will come." ? I
guess it's true. Also, if one frog could find your pond, others probably will be able to also! Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "GaneaRowenna" wrote in message ...

Hi, If you have dogs or cats be sure to find out what type of frog or toad
you have. They can be poisonous to pets. I had to relocate three toads from our place because our small dogs used to hunt them down. Kc "GaneaRowenna" wrote in message ...

Frogs are NON-poisonous - at least as far as I know.
Some species of toads emit a chemical that is indeed poisonous. No point in scaring the be-jeebers out of everyone who has frogs in their ponds ;-) Frogs are Okay.

Well there are Frogs and Frogs as it were. But since I don't think
they live where Dendrobates are found, the statement "frog's aren't poisonous" is reasonably accurate. And most Toads are simply irritating, the major exception being the Imported Cane Toad, Bufo marinus, found in Southern Coastal states where it was introduced, as well as Australian where it is an introduced pest. The toxins emitted from the parotid glands of Bufo marinus (Large Bumps behind the eye) can indeed kill pets. However most dogs get into a toad ONCE and swear off them from then on. And the benefits of Toads and Frogs for pest control FAR outweighs any slight danger they might pose to pets. IMHO of course yours may differ.
