Topic: Common Frog in Captivity
While I was out admiring my pond today I noticed the even more abundance of common frogs than usual. I decided to capture a couple of smallish frogs (just under 3cm body length). I have placed them in a fish tank with a filter, light and a corner with rocks piled up so they can sit out of the water which at the moment is 15cm deep. My questions: What should I feed the frogs? Are they likely to swim around much, or would I be better just keeping the water level at a centimeter or so? Would they need a plant or something in there? Any advice really in keeping them would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Paul W. |

Thanks for all the prompt advice, I shall release the frogs near my pond. One other question: Are frogs intelligent enough to move when an area is becoming overcrowded? My pond is full of them at the moment along with 10 fish in a relatively small pond (no bigger than 6ft in diameter). I don't know of any other ponds in the area, but there is plenty of farmland etc. Thanks again, Paul. |
