Are You Game To Pick Up Frogs From Your BackYard.

LOL. We don't have cats or dogs. but I'm surprised that we are getting frogs at all with the whopping lizard that has taken up residence in our back yard.

We'd kind of need a more permanent water source in Texas to get frogs around here, and I don't have it. The toads are much more tollerant of the dry.

Proving a water source is as simple as having a big bowl of water, up off the ground that you top up regularly and clean when too slimey! lol. Putting some plants around it will help to provide places for them to hide.

LOL. Yeah, I'm that way with some things too. When it comes to animals though, I am very curious and pick up just about anything! And I've been bitten for my efforts, but that's my fault not theirs!

LOL. Now that's what I call a wake up call! I've always chased and played with frogs, they are pretty harmless and very cute! lol. Going to get my license to own and breed them soon.

Good on you. Do you have any particular ones you want to breed.
Are you going to breed any of the ones that medicine for stomach ulcers is being made from.

I want the big fat, green tree frogs we have here! lol. They are so cute and a little harder to find! I will be breeding with the intent to let them go in nearby water ways and maybe some for sale too, but only if I do a thorough check of who is buying them first.

Oooowwwww well you will not have to check me out LOL, because I will not be buying any. And besides if I did buy any my chooks would eat them.I never knew chooks liked frogs but mine do.

LOL. Chickens will eat anything they can get their beaks on!

Thank you for Best Response.

LOL. I know what you mean. I just seem to have the knack of sitting in the wrong spot when they go hopping by and ended up with them in my lap. i am always very careful when I handle them and make sure they go right back where I found them. With so many endangered species of frogs here, I'm trying to educate my children on how to hold and look after them. They think it is quite neat. If I manage to get a breeding permit, then I will be releasing the majority into the wild to help restock the wild populations.

Now that is cruel! lol. I'd at least put salt on the slugs first! lol. I like teaching my kids about our local wildlife, but it seems the wildlife is just as interested in them! Screams all round! lol.

I love frogs! But to dissect them! I feel so sad for those poor animals.

well, it was for the purpose of education so i think there's nothing wrong with it.^__^

Thanks for the vivid pics of frogs internal organs! lol. I've been lucky enough not to have been subjected to this in the past. I think here in Oz, they should be sending the kids out for Cane Toads (non native) and try to achieve 2 things at once! lol.

LOL i don't know if it was really helpful for us. the subject was only a prerequisite in our course. after that, we concentrated on fishes since that's our main concern. the frogs are only helpful to those biology and medical students. LOL

i still can't imagine how i was able to touch frogs with my bare hands. ew.>. <

I can't believe the number of responses I've received about people having to dissect these beautiful creatures in high school. I never had to, although in Agricutlture, when I chickens got attacked by a fox, our teacher said why not!

Frogs are fascinating creatures and a good indicator of how an ecosystem is going. I like watching how they interact with the world around them and their reactions to me. most seem to enjoy my company, once I've caught them. I am very gentle in handling them and the way I speak to them.

You are indeed a thoughtful person. Trust me not all these days care about a frog or such creatures for that matter. I would try to be more compassionate next time.
Thanks.

Yeah, it is neat to watch how they move. I've had them jump into my lap before and not want to leave. Where we live, it is a common sight to see them in the bathroom or in the toilet bowl! lol. Our weather is quite warm during summer and not too cold in winter, so they are active most of the year. When it rains, they are out in force. Most of the ones we see live and breed in trees and are called Tree Frogs. I guess a house is made out of wood! lol.

It is nice to see them come back again and again. It means you provide an enviornment they are happy with. frogs and toads are an integral part of our ecosystems and feeding them is a great way to give them a helping hand!

Then I felt bad about condemning the poor june bugs to their deaths. They might have lived a long happy life if not for my interferrance.

And they can be used to monitor the health of an ecosystem too! It rained quite hard here the other night, and the frog chorus was amazing!
