JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11037 Loc: Worden, Illinois	In one of the window wells of my house there is a frog living---last year a mom frog had a bunch there & this is the one remaining frog. (my son-in-law rewscued several.) he/she seems to be doing ok I guess---I have put a clay flower pot drain tray down there and filled it up with water---but what I was wondering---does the frog need the water---or perhaps i should remove the frog from the winodw well?? Just wondering what is right for the little guy??/ _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! Still Praying for Cindy

Providing it with water is crucial. If the frog seems of a good weight I'd leave it there, it's safe from predators and from being stepped on. _________________________

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11037 Loc: Worden, Illinois	there really are no plants to speak of in the window well, I put layerss of pebbles on the dirt. but he must be living on something he hs been there since last spring. I guess I can plant something for him. and yes I thought that he was safe there as well--thanks for reassuring me. _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11037 Loc: Worden, Illinois	hey!! I am a Grandma!!! I went to check yeseterday to make sure my frog had water, and there are little froggies---about 3 or 4.!! last year I had my SIL pick them out--so I will do so again this year---I think I will make them a home in my garden (a half buried clay pot on a corner of my garden.--maybe a bit of water.) ---- and Deborah---there are 1 or 2 plants growing in the window well now--i will leave them, now that I know---- _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11037 Loc: Worden, Illinois	OK--Monday of this week I took pity on my frog and rescued her from my window well and put her under my deck. The very next morning she was on my "patio" area and hopped toward me when I took the dog out.-- I took out her small tray that I had had for her in the window well and filed it with water, and set it out among the flowers back by the patio. That night & the next morning she was still there. She even cocked her head at me when I talked to her.--I had just about thought I should put her back in her window well as she lived there for 2 years but now she is now-where to be seen--I hope all is well with her. _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11037 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Originally Posted By: afgreyparrot Can it get back in the window well if it wants to? Well Cindy, if you go on the theory that she got there all by herself in the first place, then yes--but I have my doubts--- Loz: last year there were small frogs in the window well--my SIL removed them for me--perhpas he forgot one--and this was the one. this year there were magically more baby frogs--(hence why I call the one grown frog "SHE")---I left them--but as they grew, they thought it fun to eat the screen to the basement widow--and crawel up between the eaten screen & the window--so I removed all the babies---and I have not seen a one of them since. _________________________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!

Hey guess what?? I was working out in the backyard just now--& as I was turning off the water (which is located by the infamous window well--I looked in (out of habit) and there looking back at me was my frog--well at very least A frog. So I put her tray of water back for her. So to answer your question Cindy--if this is indeed the same frog then she can get back into the window well herself !! Who knew???
