I got 8 last night and some of the big ones were leaping up trying to get out and I was worried that I was gonna lose one. Have any experienced frog-catchers had escapee ones on their frogging rounds before? IÆm not all that used to handling large frogs, where I go frogging I get loads of toads and the odd frog is a rare treat. Usually the frogs come out first and I miss them and there ainÆt many near me anyway, in a few days I reckon I wonÆt be seeing them anymore but IÆll be bound to find a few more tonight. IÆve a normal sized bucket BTW, here it is...

 


I wanted presents from lots of you. Snot fair that Ben Rigsby was the only one to send me Xmas & birthday presents.

I would never feed my toads to any animal or any one!

IÆm getting worried about my bucket actually. Like a fool I left a load of water in it in that cold spell and it froze solid and expanded the bucket so that the bottom went out like a football. In desperation to stop it from splitting if it got worse I spent ages chiseling it out (found itÆd have been easier to just bring it indoors and put it upside down in the sink cos I did with the remaining hard-to-shift stuff and it fell out with one almighty wallop after about 10 minutes.) ItÆs contracted a bit more but itÆs still rounded underneath and doesnÆt sit on the floor straight and wobbles around. IÆm thinking that when it comes to frogging time and IÆm using it the frogs might make it tip cos theyÆre always moving around trying to escape and climb out. There might be a tragedy if my bucket tips when IÆve got my back turned and they all rush onto the road. IÆve tried standing on the bottom to push it back in but it flips out with a snapping noise every time, I canÆt get it flat no more. Hope itÆll do me and active frogs and toads donÆt tip it.
