Well, only one of the toads made it, but all three frogs have made it. I
got the frog tadpoles from the pet store.
One is a bullfrog and will be kept as a pet!
The other two are leopard frogs and eating well now. I will build them a
habitat with the new pond. I'm very much looking forward to it!
I'm feeding them live crickets from the pet store...

## I hope they survive until you get your pond built. Try a larger variety
of live insects if you can.

I'm sure that once the pond is built, mother nature will supply other
frogs! lol Leopard frogs are native to this area.

## Your outdoor pond will be overrun with frogs in no time. :-) We had to
cover our ponds, in part, because the bullfrogs were eating all our GF and
smaller koi. I do have several 150 gallon in-ground kiddy-pools for the
frogs, toads and amphibians. They double as pools to raise pond plants.

Thanks!!!
