Nashonii, if you don't pour it directly on them and add it slowly, there should not be a problem. The best application method seems to be to mix the hydrogen peroxide with a bucket of pond water then pour it into several spots in the pond. If you are concerned about the eggs you might collect some of them and add them back after a few hours. I have no frogs or toads around my pond but I blame it mostly on the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides used on the lawns of my neighbors. Good luck, Sandy

thanks guys. I do feel terrible, like I may as well have smashed the poor little guy with a hammer, if in fact that monster did eat him. I know it's my fault..I never should have brought that Frodo here. catherinet, I am hoping that as well..but I have searched everywhere. He's so small, maybe I overlooked him? hopefully! mondotomhead, yes, cute little Artie would fit in Frodo's mouth. The only thing I dont understand is how in the world would he swallow him? How wide are Bullfrog's throats? As wide as their mouths? I know they can eat birds, and have been known to eat baby turtles, but how in the world do they get them down their throats??? The only thing I can figure is that they are like snakes. That frog is DEF fatter. My 10 yr old DD was so mad yesterday she said she wanted me to cut the frog open and see if Artie is in there, just so we'd know. EEWWW! NO WAY! Too gross, I couldnt even do that in HS, lol. There are no fish missing yet. I wasn't able to get the guy back to his home yet, but hopefully tomorrow he'll be gone. Maybe I'll give him to DH's uncle..he likes frog legs, lol. O and mondotomhead, Artie is too small to get out of the pond..the only place he can go out of the pond is to travel up to the stream/waterfall. He's just too small to climb the rocks to get all the way 'out'..or so I thought..maybe he did! I checked the lotus pond, he's not in there either. I even picked up all the lotus' surface leaves to look. I checked under every plant, behind every rock thinking maybe he fell head down and was stuck not being able to upright himself.. I hope he's OK and comes back once Evil Frodo is gone.

They've been croaking here more this week, but I was hearing a few in Feb. and I saw the first eggs a few weeks ago. They went through a freeze, so I don't know if that affected them or not...time will tell. I don't think there will be as many as the last couple of years since we kept the water from collecting on top of the pool this winter. We heard some on and off throughout the winter. I noticed the Indian Plums were starting to bloom in the woods.

They are just there to have their meals. It will be irritating but they don't do any harm to you. I used to do the same, spray chemicals or bug sprays, but one day my daughter thought me something which I forgotten long back. She is studying in Sunnybrook School in Ontario, and they had a class one day about the frogs, tree frogs etc. That day she made me realize that these frogs and toads are important for proper bio balance. Stop hurting them and try simple steps like those mentioned by Walker.
