Bullfrog. Is it a good frog or a bad frog? I say they're ALL good frogs!
Bullfrog eat my precious baby koi, I don't want them around my pond!Bullfrog. Is it a good frog or a bad frog? I say they're ALL good frogs!
I thought other frogs have those tooYep bullfrog, see that big round circle near his eye? That tells you he's a bullfrog. Time to relocate if you don't want him eating your babies or birds etc.
It looks like your frogs have ridges along the back, I was told bullfrogs do not have those...I'm confusedView attachment 116123 View attachment 116124 I was lighting the BBQ and I saw the 2 big ones in my pond.

I've seen Chipmunks inside birdhouses eating eggs AND baby birdsI watched to see what was up and realized a chipmunk had just caught and was killing and eating a frog! I saw him do it two more times the next day - WHO KNEW?!? I thought they were too busy digging up my garden and replanting my seeds to concern themselves with chasing and killing live prey! Nature is always surprising me!
yeah please if anyone know a sure way to tell them apart, I'd love to learn it!Now I'm confuse too,lol! I think I did see that someone wrote awhile back that a certain frog had them too. Somebody needs to explain all this bullfrog vs frog stuff better.
That's what I thought but the image @Burd posted looks like the ridges extend down the frog's back, at least to me it doesBullfrogs have a ridge - it wraps around and under their "ear".
Burds are green frogs, they have the ridge down the back. Bull frogs have the ridge wrapping the ear. No ridge going down the back.That's what I thought but the image @Burd posted looks like the ridges extend down the frog's back, at least to me it does
Bullfrogs are not indigenous to california and they dont want them released into the wild. They will eat all our native frogs, they are very aggressive eaters. My bullfrogs laid eggs, pond was filled with over a hundred big polywogs. When they grew legs and started to climb out of pond, the other 6 bullfrogs ate every single one of them. They ate the 150 tiny tree frogs i added to my yard as well. They can eat mice, snakes, koi & 1000 mosqiitos a day. Oh my!I trust you, I will keep it! Thank you!
I've always loved frogs around my pond, until this year when the Bullfrog ate all the frogs and then went after my two smaller koi...now when I see a frog I freak out!
Toad, sure looks like the ones that hang around here.I don't see any ridges on this one.Just warts.
