RE: Re: Frogs

Noreen,

I wasn't thinking about my terrarium frogs for my pond!  I thought I'd net a
frog or two in a local pond. My terrarium collection are a firebellied toad,
spade footed toad, green tree frog and an Asian Tree frog.

Talk to you all later,

Chris, do you know what kind of frogs they are??? Probably not a good  idea 
to release them to your pond if they are not native to your  area.  They
would 
probably not survive the winters.   Even if  they are native, chances are
that 
they won't stick around unless they are  aquatic, then they might more so.
I 
think you are better off to enjoy them  in your terrarium.  Sounds like you 
have a very naturally balanced  eco-system in your terrarium.  I admire that

you are able to do that.  
 
Yep, bet your bullfrog either scared the other frogs away, or ate  them.

I have  four types in a large terrarium that I have
kept going for years.  I  love to hear them croaking and it is LOUD! Do you
think that my 12"+ koi  would try to eat frogs if I tried to import some for
my pond?  The  pond is 1000 gallons and almost four feet deep, but it has a
3" ledge so  the frogs could get out.  I had a bull frog once, but he only
stayed  for a few years.  No other frogs survived with him around!
