Rescueing a Bullfrog

[Benign Vanilla]

We set up the collapsable/semi-disposable pool this weekend, and Monday
morning my wife found a frog swimming around in it. LOL. Last night I chased
that little bugger for 15 minutes.

I finally caught him. He was a very small/young bull. He was pretty
frightened and just froze in my hand. I thought he was dead at one point. As
soon as I sat him near the pond, PLOP, in he went.

So Kathy is trying to trap Bulls, and here I am rescueing them. Who is more
sick?

I've given up on Lady Bullfrog and have signed a peace treaty. She gets
sovereignty over the island in the big pond (since she looks like Queen
Victoria). She can have all the rosie reds (supplied by me) she wants and she
is to not eat all the baby treefroglets. If she reneges on this agreements I
will hire a hit heron.

I don't want to influence the vote at all, but two nights ago my wife was
shouting for me at 9pm because she couldn't find me. I was in the backyard
trying to hunt down a couple of toads that were chirping.

Reminds me of the joke...

Kathy 30acre happens across a frog near her pond. The frog pipes up, "I'm
really a handsome prince and if you kiss me, I'll be forever grateful."
Kathy smiles like a teenage boy in a porn shop, and puts the frog in her
pocket.
A few minutes later, the frog says "OK, OK, if you kiss me, I'll be your
royal servant for a week. You can parade me around as your boy toy. I'll
even clean the pond.". Kathy nods and puts the frog back in her pocket.

A few minutes later, "Turn me back into a prince and I'll be your pond slave
for a whole year!". Kathy smiles and walks on.

Finally, the frog says, "What's wrong with you? I've promised lots of fun
with a handsome prince, free slave labor on the pond, etc. and you won't
even kiss a frog?"

"Hell no," she replies. "I have teenage sons to clean my pond.... But a
talking frog...that's cool!"

But that would never happen on the newsgroup ;-)

This is true, but as Bonnie said, never on the newsgroup, sometimes to me
in an E about the newsgroup, but never IN the newsgroup. ;o)

What I can't imagine is seeing K30 smile like a teenage boy in a porn shop,
but then.... over a talking frog, assuming one didn't faint dead away and
fall into the pond and drown, I guess anything is possible. ~ jan

Hello!

After having a pond for 4 years I recently have found a Bull Frog living in
it! I was so happy! He would start "talking" round sunset and go through the
night. Now after 3 weeks of listening to him, silence! Do these guys just
move on? I thought maybe since he didn¹t receive any return calls that maybe
this spot wasn¹t for him.
Any advice or words of wisdom??

Hi Peggy,

The average frog brain has about four brain cells in it.
They are dedicated to food, sex, tv and beer.
Their croaking is governed by air and water temperature.
He'll shut up when it cools off.
I know what you are feeling. I had them for about four years and they
eventually drove me nuts. We tried to catch them but in our wildlife oriented
pond it was about impossible. I have one female left and she, thankfully, is
quiet. I will post my catching frog instructions and wish you the best of luck.

--> The best method is to try and catch bullfrogs is at night since
they do a lot of their activities at night (including all night croak
fests). It is easiest with two people, a large sport type fishing net, a broom
or pole, a covered container (a few air holes punched in the lid) with an inch
of pond water in it and a flashlight.
Spotlight the frog with the flashlight (usually the net holder has the
flashlight). When the frog is dazzled, slowly place the net in front of the
frog. The other person with the broom or pole moves behind the
frog and gives him a prod in the hind quarters. The frog should then jump
forward, into the net and get tangled up. (This is why a sport fishing net is
better than the flat skimmer net or koi catching net.) Bring the net in, grasp
the frog and then turn him upside down. The frog will stop struggling and you
can gently untangle him from the net. Put him in the covered bucket and
transport him the next day to a natural pond far away from yours. It is often
said that consuming a six pack of beer on a hot summer night while frog
catching helps you think like a frog but we won't be responsible for what the
neighbors will think or what you should tell the responding police officer.
