Hope you all dont mind me dropping in here, been trying to find some
help for my pond in the yard...Its very small, something like 4ft long,
2-3 ft wide and I would guess about 2-ft deep. Anyway I have a bunch of
little frogs living in there now, dont even know what kind they are,
they do have web feet and make a strange sound, I was thinking maybe
small bull frogs?? As summer is getting away from us, I just wonder what
I should do as winter comes? Should I put some sand or dirt in the
bottom of the pond for them,(as there is none there and it is a plastic
pond) or will they come out as the weather gets colder? I hate to see
them die as I love the little things. I live in the southern part of NC.
Thank you in advance...hope you all have a wonderful day.

I wouldn't put any additional dirt in, more important to keep a hole in any
ice that forms, if you get ice. ~ jan

I live in central NC (triangle area). I currently have green frogs in
the pond and they all made it through the winter without a hitch. My
pond is about 3 foot deep and I leave the waterfall running all year
round to keep the pond from icing over.
