In this video I'll show you a simple and inexpensive way to create a frog conservation area and attract toads and frogs to your yard and garden. Just like many animals today, frogs are suffering from a decline in numbers. Frogs are an important part of the earth's ecosystem and they need our help. Watch the video and you can do your part by creating your own frog conservation area in your yard or garden. I hope you enjoy the video.

You would love my yard. Thousands of toads, bull, and tree frogs in it. I live on the edge of a swamp with a pond.

@WonderfulWorldReptiles 8 дней назад

Oh yes, I would absolutely love that.

@trentpeppard 14 дней назад

Thank you for taking the time to do this video! It’s exactly what I needed. I’m creating my frog sanctuary today and you made it achievable.

@WonderfulWorldReptiles 14 дней назад

Just bought two of these dishes for my frog(s) today and put them in two areas of my garden.

That’s great.

Great video - you should look into adding some native plants to your area. A lot of insects require them, which means more food for the frogs

@WonderfulWorldReptiles 9 месяцев назад

Thank you very much. Well, I should have shown the rest of the garden in that video, it’s basically my entire back yard and aside from a lot of roses there’s all kinds of plants, some native like cone flowers and black eye susans, and other things. There’s also a meadow and a pond behind all of that. Lots of insects and sometimes things like foxes and deer come visit the garden too. Maybe next time it’s all in bloom I’ll do a video on that.

I loved watching your video! I put in a drain to pull rainwater away from my house and now there's a small pond about 3 feet wide and 6 feet long. It's about 12 ti 14 inches deep. I'm thrilled to see a few frogs in it. Today I noticed green slim covering the top of the water so I Googled how to remove it. I then gently used a long prong rake to remove it. The bottom is mud which I read the frogs will burrow in during our cold winter. I love visiting this area to check on my new friends!

The bigger it is the harder it is to keep clean and big enough would need a pump and filter.

My backyard is never mowed or treated with any chemicals either. I'm working on my 70% native plant goal. Last summer, I found a toad back there. I was so happy and proud of my accomplishment, though I have no idea how he got there. Every other yard around me is poisoned with chemicals repeatedly. My little toad must have been dropped off by a friendly bird 😂

I would recommend putting some rice fish or mosquito fish in there. That's because in most areas, mosquitos will show up much faster than frogs will.

Good idea, I should give that a try.

@Moamanly 8 месяцев назад

Not in a shallow dish like that, I hope!

@user-ip7tv6cc8z 8 месяцев назад

It depends on the evaporation rate. If mosquitoes can breed in the water that collects in a tire, they can breed in a shallow dish of water too.@@Moamanly

@Moamanly 8 месяцев назад

@@user-ip7tv6cc8z I meant that the fish require better conditions than a shallow dish would provide. They need deeper water with good oxygenation+ stable PH parameters. That requires some aquatic plants that will draw on the excess nutrients-it isn't difficult to achieve though. White Cloud Mountain Minnows do an excellent job in keep water free of mosquitoes as well as the fish previously mentioned.

I've had a few little frogs in my yard this year, but I don't have a pond. I just found tadpoles in my rain barrel, which is a plastic garbage can. It is the middle of May, I think the water will heat up before the tadpoles mature. I understand they prefer shallow water, anyway. I want to help the frogs, but without a place for the tadpoles to grow, it doesn't seem that smart to set out trays of water.

@WonderfulWorldReptiles 2 месяца назад

You’re right. It seems brutal but frogs and toads breed for quantity over quality knowing that a majority of the offspring won’t survive. When the American toads hatch out I have some days where there are hundreds of toadlets in my yard. I don’t cut the grass at that time, but other then that, there nothing to be done to save them all.

Wrong, you cannot apply purpose to something just because it does what you are attributing to it doesn't mean it is a purpose. Purpose is a human concept not a natural one.

Do you keep the saucer filled with water when it dries out? I'm doing something similar in my yard.

@WonderfulWorldReptiles 9 месяцев назад

I do, but since it’s on the side of my garden it gets filled when I water the garden anyway. I don’t worry too much if it gets dry every now and then. It’s not necessarily a place where they choose to live but more of a place that they can find water. I do see frogs in it though.
