Topic: Hopefull of finding frogs in my garden

[Dave Richardson]

Hi to all,

Has anyone else suffered with this problem??

Our pond has been established for about 12 years now & we had so many frogs in our garden that we had to be very careful where we stepped if we went out after dark. Last year we seemed to find dead frogs everwhere, those we pulled in a net from our pond had hardly any feet. So far this year we've not even a croak was this a spreading illness or had some other fate taken our little beings life???

I know some colonies of frogs have been hit by Red leg disease which was my first thought on reading your post though in this link it doesn't mention missing feet.

Thank you Lily lover, my wife recalls them having a red bum & stomach so it seems as if you've helped answer our enquiry
