I have a question to all ponders out there, my pond has a pump area which has a weir and I have found many critters (frogs, salamander, etc.) in this area however I have removed 3 dead salamanders which have gotten their tails sucked in the pump intake and cannot get out and drown. Also, there is a massive bullfrog in this pump area, he can't get to the pump area due to the net but I don't think he can get back out to the pond proper. In addition, there are a lot of frog eggs in the pump area and when these tadpoles hatch will probably be sucked into the pump as they will have to "fight the current" of the inflow to the pump basin. Having painted this picture, anybody have any suggestions, cures or insight into what I should do? Also, should I relocate the bullfrog back to the pond proper? Thanks in advance, I just hate to see my pond life die unnecessarily.
