Whiskas Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi all, I think i have a frog living in/around my pond. I havn't seen it only heard this chirruping sound starting at about 4pm going through to about 8pmish. As much as i like frogs i dont want him living here and was wondering if anyone knows a way to lure him out so i can catch it and then I can release it somewhere safer, i.e. where there are less cats. I go out most nites to see if i can spot him, but knowing how small frogs can be and all the hidey holes means that he has been rather elusive. For fun i recorded his chirruping sound using my cellphone and played it back to him to see what would happen, sometimes he replies and other times he goes quiet for awhile before starting up again. Anyways any help on the how to catch the frog would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 they come out on sunny days and never far from the water. its that time of the year where they all go hide so u wont have to put up with it much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskas Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 So do they sun themselves to warm up? Will he go hybernate somewhere? Theres a good palm-tree-type plant for him to hang out in, so will he be back next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatito Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Are you sure it's not cicadas? If u look by the pond on a sunny day, and are slow and quiet in approaching, you should be able to see a frog before you get too close and he disappears. At the least you would see/hear the splish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
