Rescued a Wood Frog

June 26, 2009 Elizabeth

We recently did some work on the entrance to our crawl space.  We haven’t yet finished and put a cover on it, so it is a bit of a toad trap.  When we let the dog out, we try and check the trap and make sure that no toads or frogs have accidentally jumped in the hole.  Well, last night the dog wouldn’t stop staring the hole and Steve checked and sure enough a Wood Frog had gotten himself stuck.  We tried rescuing him and at first, he just wanted to jump right back in there!  We ended up releasing him on the other side of the shed in the woods. 

Here are a few pictures:
