Rouge frog
I've got a bit of a rouge frog.
I'ts spawning season for our frogs here in the north west of England. And the ones that live in my pond have been doing what nature demands. Sadly I found a dead frog at the bottom of the pond . Clealy a mating casualty as the male frog was still clinging on to her! I felt sorry for this chap so I got his lady out of the water gently removed him and gave her a funeral. Today 2 days later i find him locked on to one of my young Koi ! with his front feet IN its gills. Naturally I quickly netted the fish and got the frog off. The fish looked ok but I did let it back into the water quickly . I might catch it again in a couple of days to check it is OK. The frog I've just set loose in the garden again though if I find him locked onto a fish again I think I will give him the boot ( not sure where to though) Dave |

Got an over-amourous frog eh? I know all the pond books talk
about them but not what to do with them when you catch them. Maybe K30 has a clue?

If your frog continues on his anti-social behavior towards the fish, catch him and take him for a drive... Release him at a nearby natural waterway. I once heard of a male cane toad attaching himself to a dryed up road squashed female cane toad. Boggles the mind! kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A |

When you go to give him the boot, make sure he doesn't latch on & start

I've now got two croaking frogs calling for mates, any female froggies out
there want to come do some frogegging (play on frolicking) with these guys? "Frogegging" was a play on words by another ponder at our recently club meeting. Just like one of our group here, she too had a neighbor mention that she sure was playing her frog CD loud. She told him, that they were still in his yard and hadn't made it to her pond to do their frogegging. :o) She & I are of like minds, don't bother to complain, we consider them nothing more than loud crickets. ~ jan |
