    Advice required re. Frog removal

    It's raining here at the moment and I've got a frog which has taken residence in one of the stormwater pipes that run down the side of my house to the gutter. It's making a hell of a ruckus which can be heard at each of the downpipes. I'm guessing that it's closer to the footpath as it only stops croaking when I walk near the outlet at the gutter. I don't want to hurt it but I certainly want to move it on. Anyone ?.

    I have them in the rod holders in my boat, winch mast on the boat trailer, downpipes on the house and other places. They make a racket but are pretty cute little buggers. I just have to be careful where i put my rods...sometimes here an upset 'cark' and quickly take the rod out and choose another holder! Once had to grab one that jumped on the Yamaha outboard and looked like he waa about to make a break for the water.. trouble was it was salt water. Stuck him in a small esky with the lid a little ajar and brought him back home...they are very territorial.

    Cheers

    The frog will move when it finds a mate. Assuming it is a green frog, they actually breathe thru their skin [ true] so if you handle it, have nothing on your hands that the frog will absorb.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Frogs are beautiful. Cane toads are another matter. Their poison makes the mower blades rust too.
