Default good bye green frog...

ahh... today, as i was checking on my pond after putting the plants back in the shallows and waiting a few weeks to clean it and set it up again, i saw a body floating around. it was my green frog. hand caught by me in a puddle near my house. he was my only green frog. i have some leopard frogs left (found in the same puddle), but green frogs are better for ponds 'cause they stay in the water. leopards roam around the yard and take dips in the pond, they live in the rocks around it. he was the only one i found this year. well this summer i plan on raising tadpoles indoors (i used to do this alot, haven't done it in the past year), so there will be a better sucess rate. the ones in the pond "dissapeared". i don't have bull frogs 'cause they are to violent and scare away other amphibians. their tadpoles are bigger, though, and less likely to be missing. oh well.

yes! i just went on a site and it said hibernating frogs are squishy and look dead, but their not!! and no sooner than i went back out, he was waking up!! i put him back in the pond.

above i said he was floating. that is not true... he sinks. i just misinterpreted it.

This as as good of news as when Loach's loaches returned from the dead!! Wasn't it something like three clown loaches presumed dead or something and he found them all??

I'm happy for you!! Yay!

This is a good example of why you don't immediately bury or flush something that you think is dead!!
