Willow10 Make sure there is a way for it get out of the barrel pond or it will drown and you don't want to find that at a later date. I speak from experience here. The cat kindly dropped a frog at the feet of me and my grandson while we were making cookies. My son put it in a big barrel of water but it didn't survive. I still feel guilty.
Yep, with my bare hands. I had to have a clear run to the back door ready, and I had to limber up a bit first, but I did it! Frogs are very squidgy! It was a very big fat thing too..
Grab the frog MissA? Like, with your hands? I couldnt! Just couldn't! I recently had a newt crawl into my living room, late one night. I have no idea how it got in, or where it came from, but there was no way I could have picked it up to get it out! DS to the rescue from 10 miles away
Its amazing, the noise that can come out of a frog! Years ago at work, my colleague and I opened the French doors, and a very big frog came in. We put a sieve over it, and then I plucked up courage to lift the sieve and grab the frog.
We used to keep coal in an outside bunker and go and shovel it into a coal scuttle each evening. One night, exDH threw a scuttle of coal onto the fire and a piece screamed and jumped off. It was only when it continued to hop around the living room that we realised that it was a coal dust covered frog. Made a hell of a noise not surprisingly but once rinsed off under the tap, hopped off into the night.
We used to have a species called midwife toads near our house. They made a beeping sound which sounded like an electronic device. Sadly they disappeared in the last few years.
My cat catches frogs but doesn’t usually do them any harm. As I run to rescue one it often screams and, so touchingly, spreads it’s little hands over its head like a terrified child. I’m fond of my frogs and hate to see them squashed on the road. It takes a frog or toad five years to grow up and start spawning.
I heard what I thought was a very loud squeaky toy noise coming from outside. When I went to investigate, it was the neighbours cat playing with a very angry, noisy frog! I didn't realise a frog could even make that sort of sound. Every time the cat went near it, it screeched. I managed to get it into a bucket and then into my little barrel pond - I hope it will be ok!
