Yes. Ignore the cross-posters and anonymous posters. Last night we heard
the first frog of the season. He already moved into the new little 150
gallon pond.

==============================
If you live in a town you may not be. I live out in the country so newts,
frogs and toads come on their own. The plant pools behind my house act as
pollywog nurseries ever summer, cranking out thousands of new little
froglets and toadlets.

I built my in-ground pond to attract wildlife. I put
minnows in there but they don't disturb anything.
Two years ago I got toads - tons & tons of toad
tadpoles! Then last year I got small green frogs. One
(at least) lived in the pond throughout what we
laughingly call winter here in southcentral TX, so
I'm expecting bunches of frog tadpoles.

I've been reading rec.ponds via Google since
AOL dropped them.
Works well for me.

Google will throw up all sorts of ads along the right
sides that are kind of related to the subject.
On this topic are two ads for frog sculptures.

But the best one is
'new and USED poison arrow frogs'

I suspect, as the season goes on, rec.ponds could
hold a sale on used bullfrogs. I'd like to volunteer
Her Royal Highness The Lady Bullfrog, but I doubt
she'd cooperate.

What's the going rate for carcasses? I always have a few that get caught in
the freeze.

=============================
YES! I believe they do. I have yet to see even eggs survive the ponds with
koi, no less the taddies. The pools with goldfish are always full of tads.

I have a friend who claims his ate toad tadpoles and died. Mine
share the pond with lots of them every spring and are growing well.
If they are eating any I don't miss them.

Unfortunatley, the drivel has nothing to do with not talking about
ponding, it is just some internet white noise that you have to filter
out.
See, I can talk about ponding, I mentioned 'filter.'

Every year, I have literally 1000's of frog eggs. I get 100's of tadpoles
and 10's of frogs.

There is something useful in there I am sure.

It would be easier if we could reduce that to binary. It's probably some
exponential function.

Is there a reason why your computer's calander is a month ahead of everyone
elses'? This can get you killfiled, you know.

1111101000's of eggs.
1100100's of frogs.
1010's of frogs.

===============================
I haven't seen territorial behavior in any of the frogs we have here. If
you're in a subdivision they may not have survived. Of the thousands born
each year no more than a few survive until the next spring.

Those of us in rural areas usually have more than enough frogs and toads.

I think cats are the biggest reason I can't keep frogs - I have cats
constantly coming around my pond and as soon as they start to croak at
night, it's not long before they are no longer here - a friend a couple of
blocks away from my place has a dog that goes crazy whenever a cat enters
his yard and he lets him out to scare the cat away to shut the dog up and he
always has frogs

----------------------
Our neighbor's obese cat comes around at night but the frogs continue to
kanoodle and croak in the uncovered kiddy pools. I think this cat is
looking for something tastier than a cold, wet, clammy, slimy frog! :-)
My dogs, all elderly now, are showing almost no interest in either the
neighbor's waddling cat or the frogs starting to show up around here.
