Frogs are Amazing!
The little frogs are having a party in their pool. There are 4 of them. Each one has her/his own personality.
They are all permanent rescues and can’t be released for different reasons.
They look at me strangely as its way to early for me too turn on their light.
Kale, a whistling brown tree frog came in a bunch of Kale from Queensland.
It’s illegal to release a frog outside of their natural area to prevent spread of disease.
She retains her eggs as she has no male of her species and often looks like a bowling ball but she is healthy and lives happily with our Perons Tree frogs. I have had her 5 years now.
Kevin, he is quite a character.
He came to me also 5 years ago from another wildlife carer . He had a broken leg. All healed up now but he had been away from his home to long.
He likes everyone to know that he should be heard.
He competes with the vacuum cleaner thunder and lightening anything loud he goes off with his gorgeous chorus!
I enjoy singing with him we make quite the duo.
I am often asked by people how do you remove frogs as their calling annoys them, they complain that the frogs keep them awake at night. I think they are crazy.
If I am having trouble sleeping I find a good frog app on my phone, it relaxes me immediately.
Frogs are Amazing!
I get a few green tree frogs each year that pop up all over Sydney in Strange places. They all get registered with FATS (frog and tadpole association ) and find permanent homes if they are not from the area.
They often come in fruit boxes from interstate and end up in Sydney drains, some healthy, some not, either way there are some great frog people around who are licensed to care for them.
