Bleeh Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm guessing someones dumped something toxic into the pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy130 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Dogs, cats and other playful animals will normally play with them, because you have seen an injury i would think thats the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbuster Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 was up farm walking about yesterday and we have couple paths that run near two ponds ,thing is theres a lot of dead or dying frogs on the paths from dried out skeltons to ones on last legs.turned one over that was barely alive and it was split from neck down a bit.is this a mass suicide pact or something as there all in centre of path few feet apart nearly length of it other path is same puzzling. Last year my mate and i were going up my father in law's farm lamping, there are a few ponds close by. Anyway the road (small lanes) leading up to the farm were rammed with frogs, and i mean rammed! There were hundreds, no, thousands of the ******* everywhere. Couldn't help flattening a couple hundred with the car! Anyone know what that was all about?? Do they mass migrate or something??

Curly87 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've heard a lot of frogs die after mating? However maybe a bit late in the year for that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what are they doing-would it have been mating season when i saw this? Can't remember the month we saw this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
