Have water the frogs will come. We ended up with one in each big and little ponds. They like to have a pond per frog, no sharing! lol

I have never had a normal big frog that hangs around and can be seen, mine all seem to be stealth models. I suppose I could nose aroung in our canyons and find one. There are plenty there a few weeks after a good rain before the ponds dry up.

i bought 3 frogs in 2008 for my pond..rarely see them, i dont know if one i bought just far out grew the others but this fall after moving the fish inside i found one that would spill over the sides of a desert plate. him and 2 others kept making their way into my empty filter. the last time i put them back in the pond they were in 2" of water in the filter with a layer of ice locking them in place...as far as i know theyre still in the pond now,as the water was so cold they could barely move. as far as seeing them thru the season i only see ripples in the water and hear the splash of them jumping in. and the occasional head poking out under the watefall, or border rocks.

My guys like to be seen. I see them every time I walk near the ponds. Green maryland frogs.

being as my pond is 3foot above a patio garden can i keep the frogs in the pond perminently like have a floating little house ,my concern is that if a frog jumps out of the pond its never going to jump a metre back in inncidently making it dinner for my dog haha

i made the mistake of trying to winter my frogs in the basement pond...they were out within hours...put them back ...out even quicker, after a few times i just tossed them back in the outdoor pond. man, the'yre hard to find in a basement thats mostly utilized as storage
