Composter frog

Opened up my composter this morning and spotted this chap inside!

Transferred to the pond with no problem

 

Awwww, He's Lush.. I had one in my bin a few weeks ago, i tried to help him out but got through a gap in the side..Wonder if there after the Slugs in there Caps?

 

I think maybe I fished him out of the pond with the net when I was clearing some duckweed from the surface.
There is some slugs in there to feast one.

 

Hi Capney, I couldn't pick one up but we have lots at the moment. One hopped out from the fronyt border when I was watering :hehe:
I nearly jumped out of my skin. I wonder if it's the time of year as hubby said he has seen a lot out the front. I haven't seen one in our pond for a while though.

 

We've had a couple around the pond Jazmne - but our composters are the rotating green plastic ones - so don't see how they could likely get in those. They are also located away from the pnnd. Must've been a surprise to open it and find the frog though!

 

Those frogs will want somewhere nice and warm to hide away in during the coming winter, your composter is the ideal place, Robert. When I was coming in through the front garden gate earlier today, a tiny frog hopped off the path and into the crocosmia. With my pond being a home to lots of frogs, I find it funny when I suddenly here some local children across the street shouting, "theres a frog in the garden!) and I know it was likely one of mine. It's wonderful to spread a little happiness.:hehe:

 

Yes, Kathy, frogs normally seek out somewhere warm when the colder nights draw in. What better a place than in among the compost, and there's a meal slithering around almost obligingly as it happens. :hehe: I think that my own greatest fear in working around either of my gardens, it's the thought that I may accidentally tread on one of the little creatures......
