Re: dead frogs
Float some tennis balls on your pond, when it is frozen pull them out one at a time as each hole freezes up. This allows the frogs to come up to breathe.

Re: dead frogs
If you can get an old tropical fish tank heater, put one in near the surface and it will keep a small area of water around it frost free..

Re: dead frogs
Balls! It worked for Blue Peter, they always put a football on the pond before it froze over.

Re: dead frogs
This is beside the point a little bit and perhaps in bad taste...but.....if you get the dead frogs, stick a straw up there arse, blow them up like a balloon and then let them go in the water. Fastest fu***ng frogs you'll ever see

Re: dead frogs
If the worldwide amphibian decline continues, memories of frogs is all we will have

Re: dead frogs
We don't have that trouble for our frogs here in Florida I guess they are able to chew their way through the ice...
