Bullfrog within fish pond.?
I have a large bullfrog in my goldfish pond, and he is drinking my fish. I took him to a large pond 1 mile away, and he came put a bet on in 5 days. How far can they travel, and what can I do to get rid of him. I do not want to kill him.
nick him somewhere far away, like a lake that you viit sometimes that isnt close at hand by...or you can get light around your house so they will attract bug and he will start eating them instead of your fish...What he is doing is-he is hungry,and in attendance is not enough of his regular diet at your house,so he eats the fish to keep alive...
Get bigger goldfish! No, seriously, if you want to relocate him, take him as far absent as you can go and release him in a suitable habitat--as you've already discovered, amphibians are very honest at finding their way back to where they be. Remember to keep him moist when you travel, though, since their skin needs to stay wet.
Answers: If you took him to a nice pond that far absent, I'd be surprised if it's the same bullfrog. Could be, though. Take it further away subsequent time! If you still have problems with frogs, you might try placing netting over the pond. Are you sure the bullfrog is the culprit? You may enjoy cats, raccoons, or even herons doing a little fishing. In each of these cases net or screening over the pond will facilitate keep the fishies safer.
You can try to proposition your fish better hiding places with more plants. I would suggest not re-locating him, because bull frogs and all frogs, for that thing, are getting hard to find. Try more hiding places and see how that works first.
