Hi guys, I have just brought 2 frogs. I'm pretty sure I've read somwhere that you can make traps to catch bugs. Has anyone made one before and if so how?

Think http://www.reptiles.org.nz has some plans

Also check trademe

I just use a .sauce punnet poke holes in it, put fruit in and close lid. Leave on windows, give it a week or less and bugs you will have.Hope that helps

use a fish net and catch flies. if they are very young frogs, pull 1 wing off before feeding, otherwise the frogs have too much trouble catching them

Dog roll(food) on a hot day on the lawn. Sneak up with a net and wham, you can do it all day lol

Been doing it for years :roll:

why not just breed them. easy enough :roll:

Not in winter theres not

OK time for a bad picture!

dig a hole in the ground just big enough for a jar to fit in put a few small rocks around the rim and then a bigger flat one on top

its good for catching things like woodlice they hide under rocks so they go in fall in the jar and can't climb out

Thanks for all the advice. At the moment I'm catching flies with a net and can catch heaps if it's good weather. I think I'll try the jar trick thanks wilson. They are young frogs but have no trouble eating flies.

take a decent net with fine netting and sweep thru long grass in a park. you'll get heaps this time of year. watch out for the men in white coats tho...
