Thanks everyone for the replies. I had been trying to figure out the legs for about a week but never really had time to concentrate on it. I just could not conceptualize what might work. Then it dawned on me! All I had to do was bend a little bit of the wire covered with the beads and then I could glue the bent part to the ball. It gave me a fairly decent size gluing space. When I finally figured out this very simple solution it made me feel so silly. It was so easy to do! But, I really appreciate the ideas. I had thought about drilling but wasn't at all sure how easy it was to drill a hole in that very solid ball. Has anyone tried it? Mindy

I think the gravel on the soil kept the frog from contacting the fertilizer. That's why I kept gravel on the soil - to protect my frog. The plant is now in the screenroom because even without the fertilizer, it didn't do good in the house. It is now getting new leaves and surviving. The frog was on the older side and died a little over week ago. I think he had that bone metabolic disease or just got too skinny because of old age. He was a little too much on the skinny side for some time but I thought the electrolyte stuff I had plus the crickets would help him out. He did eat a flying gnat the night before he died and could jump around the next morning. Thanks for the advice, though.

Bonnie, I have tree frogs too. They live in my hanging baskets and when I have had cold snaps, I have found them in a tupperware bowl I had forgotten that was half full of water. I did not realize it at the time, but they were keeping warm in the water. I have one of those tall rubbermaid 'sheds' that you would keep shovels and rakes in and always find them sleeping in there. so if your shed has the smallest opening for them, maybe they can keep warm in there. Have you seen those topsy turvy tomatoe hanging "plastic bags"? Last year, I had 2 families living in them. It was the greatest sight to see them 1 by 1 pop their little heads out looking for bugs at the porch light. Michelle

I think it is perfectly on-topic. Frogs (and toads) are wonderful garden companions and help control the pest population by eating tons of pests. Of course, the downside is that the frogs also might devour some of the beneficial insects too. With rampant flooding all around us, we are getting tons of new wildlife showing up in the yard looking for high ground, food and water. The million frogs that showed up in May laid eggs so we're going to have a billion frogs by the end of the summer. Early in the morning, there's so many frogs in the garden that you have to walk slowly to give them time to jump out of your path. I wish we could train the frogs and toads to sit on top of the porch light and eat all the little pests buzzing around it at night. Like George, I leave little brushy corners (and small flat pans of water in dry years) for the toads. It is impossible to have too many frogs or toads in the garden, except that a lot of snakes come to the garden to eat them, so the population never really gets way out of control.
