Frogs! ( We Have Done/doing The Ants, Now What About The Frogs)?

[Jack Peterson]

I am sure that these nasty things have a use or belong in the Animal Food Chain( Although I can't think where) but they are becoming a total PITA. Whilst the frogs and I guess Toad don't seem to do much damage (I am no Gardner) My Dogs do the damage whilst trying to catch them :1 (103):  Is there an answer to this?

 

My Wife says put the Dogs in their cages at night but this would go against the reason we have Dogs and anyway I tell her, they will be barking all night as they will see them and want to get out to get them.

 

What to do about the Frogs & Toads ( I doubt they are social among themselves) so it will be one or the Other I guess?  :89:

The solution for the frogs is the same as the solution for all the lizards.  In short, there isn't one  :hystery:

Yep, we've had the problem with frogs in Canada for years now.  (oops, ethnic joke, better shut up before I get banned).

  Last year, our black lab pup got sick and died. The vet said that it might have been from biting the frogs.

 

  The frogs eat ants and mosquitoes. Tricycles kill the frogs. Life comes and goes.

We came very close to losing our West Highland White Terrier last year to a cane toad.  Our dog Rachel is "hell on wheels" when it comes to killing rats, crabs, and unfortunately toads!  The first time she killed one she started heavy drooling and was unsteady on feet.  I did a quick google search and learned about the toxin that cane toads exude from their skin.  Rachel when through all the stages including drooling, temporary blindness, inability to walk, vomiting, paralysis, convulsions, and rapid shallow breathing (over 100 breath per minute).  We flushed her mouth with a garden house.  We just happened to have some activated charcoal capsules in the medicine cabinet.  We pushed two of these down her throat and started praying.  Fortunately she survived and all the symptoms, including the blindness, were temporary.  Full recovery took about 24 hours.  She has since tangled with  two more toads, but we were able to rinse out her mouth immediately and the symptoms were not as severe.  Now when I see one of them, I crack him in the head, double bag, and either deep bury or put in the outgoing garbage.  Google "toad poisoning in dogs" for additional information.

I have an answer Jack.  A 7 Iron with another holding flashlight on said frog.  They easily  sail the fence and never come back!  Particularly

good for the cane toads.  This is an Aussie invention but I am happy to share with you Jack.
