Late Hibernator

I've had a frog living in my frog bowl all this year and last year - I'm sure it's the same one and he's grown into quite a bruiser! Spotted him earlier this week and again this afternoon with his nose and eyes above the water. Is this unusual, as I thought he should have hibernated well before now,...

Re: FROGS

Thanks Jacksparrow. Will go for the clean-up. Not sure what to do about the resident frog though. Do I just remove the stones he hides under and hope he leaves? Bit worried about scaring him off for good.

Re: FROGS

Just been clearing some of the winter debris from my home-made frog bowl. I know you're supposed to leave a certain amount, but the water is quite black and smells stagnant. Wondering whether it's ok or should I change the water. Have just topped it up with some water from my raised pond for the tim...

Re: Triple Surprise

Meant to say that since taking these photos I've added further stone ramps at both ends of pond as a further aid to the mini beast!

Triple Surprise

What I thought was my solitary frog has now become three (at least). My little pond has acquired a second big frog plus a much smaller one. Have never noticed any frog spawn and am wondering why there's just the one small frog, unless he/she just found their way to the habitat. Took a pic of him and...

Re: FROGS

Have managed to snap frog. He's being a bit adventurous by appearing at opposite end of bowl to where he normally hangs out. I was a bit nervous about frightening him but he didn't seem to mind me looming above him.

Re: FROGS

Hi Kev. It doesn't show up on the photos but I have built a kind of stairway from flattish stones leading up to water surface. Watched the frog climb up it the other day. Think he spends a lot of time under the stairs as I often see just a leg sticking out.

Re: FROGS

Thanks Kev. Here's a photo of my frog habitat consisting of water feature and plant pot hideaway. Pic of resident frog to follow as he spends a lot of time out of sight.
