Hi guys,
Been a while since I posted on here. A while back I posted asking for identification on a frog, and it turned out to be a perons tree frog. He was found in my backyard, and I relocated him to the front garden so my dog wouldn't interfere with it.
Anyways, it has happened a few times now and my dog keeps biting em. I heard the poor little frogs yells so I ran over and sure enough, there was my dog pawing at it.
Everytime I find one in the backyard, I relocate them to the garden in the front so my dog can't get to em. Because we have a doggy door, my dog always has access to the backyard so I can't always watch him when he's out there.
What I'd like to know, is there a way to make the garden out the front more froggy friendly so they won't keep coming back into my backyard?
And is there a reason that they're drawn to the backyard? We don't really have much out there, but the times I've found them, they've been sitting on the table or chairs we have out there, or sometimes just on the cement path we have that goes around the house (I thought they would have preferred the garden, lol, show's what I know). We don't have any ponds or bodies of water in the backyard.
Would a small pond, or water feature in the garden be more appealing to them?
I've grown quite fond of the frogs here and enjoy watching them, I don't want to see any harm come to them. I am also worried if my dog eats one, he may get sick.
Sorry for the looooooong poooooossst, just wanted to include as much info as possible so I can get the best possible replies and solutions
Looking forward to your replies.
Cheers
Kev
