Welcome to the forum! There are a lot of "frog lovers" here, and we are among them. We let grasses grow along our pond's edge to provide nursery spots and habitat, and love listening to the songs of the night provided by our froggy friends.We also have tree frogs that attach themselves to the patio glass doors and watch us eat breakfast.
No.. frogs are frogs and toads are toads... all are amphibians (along with salamanders). Toads are great... they are ant specialists!
Frogdoc you have come to the right place. Great friendly, fun, and knowledgeable folks here. Sounds like you have had quiet the project underway. Sending you a warm welcome from Wis.
