I found this Western chorus frog sitting on a 4x4 in the path in my native garden. This is the fourth chorus frog I've seen in my gardens over the past month. Pretty surprising, since I usually don't see any.

I call him floppy, last year he broke his pelvis on hip, leg? He couldnt put any weight on his one leg. He ate on the ground on his side. I always fed him, not he looks to find me now Lol.

The squirrel rehabber I know yells at me for feeding them peanuts, lol. She says buy walnuts. It’s really just a treat. They don’t get big amounts of them.

Our neighbor planted walnut trees on his property and now we get them popping up all over in the Spring. Easy to pluck up but I don't need all those falling nuts to mow over so they get gone. The squirrels sure do love them tho. They did plant a red oak tree years ago and I kept that one :)

They inhale the peanuts, I buy non salted ones in the shell.

Wonder why she said not to feed them peanuts.

Well did a search

"Since these furry little guys love sunflower seeds and peanuts, it's easy for people to get carried away and feed them too many. It's not that sunflower seeds and peanuts are incredibly harmful to squirrels; it's just that they have very low nutritional value. Raw peanuts can be especially dangerous because they can harbor toxic mold. "

It’s a treat, they don’t get that many. I guess compare to almonds and walnuts, thetpy are prob better for them.
I had a squirrel,that I too’ care of for a long time, she lived 13 years. She was gray in the face like an old dog. She loved cinnamon rolls. git excited if I had one on my porch. , lol. I guess, whats the chance to find a Cinnamon roll Laying around out there, She lived long on sunflower hearts, peanuts and walnuts.
they love a payday candy bar too. Lmao
