Uh oh, Dylan's back to hunting


Yesterday I noticed Dylan was in the greenhouse having a look round, I thought he was just having a nosy at the plants but today when I went and watered the plants again I found a frog/toad in the greenhouse Alive, well and hopping around doing frog/toad things

There's not a pond or river close enough to us for the frog/toad to have travelled, so Dylan must have brought it

Do I try catching it or do I leave the greenhouse open for the frog/toad to have a chance at escaping?

Not sure whether it's a frog or a toad ............

Edit: went out to get a picture of him/her for identification purposes and I couldn't find him think he scrammed just after I'd watered the plants.

Frogs/toads dont live in ponds, they live on dry land, under rocks and such. They only go to ponds to lay their eggs.

Leave him be.

I think he/she's gone from the greenhouse, went out to feed the birds (food's in the greenhouse too) and there was no sign of Mr or Mrs Frog/Toad.

Dylan went out after him/her again.

I suspect Mr Frog/Toad has left. I presume it's warm and humid in the greenhouse, they like that; he possibly could have come in by himself and poor Dylan is getting blamed!

I suspect you are right Eileen.

He was a small green hoppy thing that's all I saw. Dylan has always been a hunter so that's why I thought it was him.

My mum used to always get them in her greenhouse when she lived in town, she used to just leave the door ajar
