Frogs are sadly declining at an alarming rate as a diret result from pollution.  I was very sad indeed to stumble across a local pond recenlty which was fillled with dead frogs to which my 3 year old daughter was extremely distressed and to which has promoted this current up – date.  My daughter has only ever seen tadpoles in a small tank at school which is fab for her awareness and education – however it’s not an ideal way to experience wildlife is it ? to keep them this way can sadly simply kill them.

If whilst reading this post and have young children or maybe you simply love wildlife like myself then why not bring the frogs to your own garden by installing your very own pond?  I would recommend  a mimium depth of 2 – 3 ft ( which then aids prevention of freezing) if freezing does occur then simply use hot water on the ice preventing hibernating frogs from suffocation  – Also don’t forget to create safe havens for you new garden friends such as placing a frogilo house down, as this will keep the frogs & toads more secluded away from predators such as cats & foxes, my daughter really enjoys visiting her new garden friends.

You may like myself find amphibians fascinating, or you may not – However! you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that they’re also a fanstastic way to keeping slugs &  snails at bay ~ the organic way –  as frogs & toads very much love to feed on (these garden pests) so,  no more slug pellets, keeping your garden that perfect safe haven ( pesticide free )
