Laughing.................jw! My honey, when we first got married, could rattle the walls. I could hear him if I was in the basement. Then due to my good cooking, he lost 50 some lbs, now no snoring! He also had that sleep apnea, that was worrisome, totally quit breathing at night, longest I counted was almost two minutes, that is gone now too.
Much prefer the frogs over the snores!

Alot of it is mindset. We have two roosters only 30 feet away and if you let it annoy you then it will, and you will stay awake. Now, they may wake me up for a few seconds, but I do go back to sleep. But glad Jimbo found a solution that works for him and his pond. A dog barking non-stop is by far the hardest one to put up with and ignore I think. I actually got a barking collar for my dog when I lived in a condo and he would bark non-stop if we left.

LOL, snoring compared to frogs....Not even a close comparison. The wife and the pug can be snoring and when the frogs crank up here they drowned both of them out! But I must say, the snoring wife and dog, and the frogs don't match my neighbors racing bike on one side and the folk music and LSU sports games on the other. LOL, Glad we all get along or the early morning noise competitions around here might start a neighborhood fued. Really I have great neighbors, they put up with the frog orchastra, so I don't complain when I get woke up on saturday mornings to one neighbor testing the bike and the other washing the cars and thruck listening to the radio.

My neighbors are far enough away all we hear is nature, frogs and my yorkie snoring. Oh and the bug chorus that you get in the summer out in the woods.

I opened our slider door facing out toward the horse farm which is full of puddles of water from all the rain we have had lately and heard a whole herd of frogs singing away. But funny, not a one near my pond singing at all :bowdown:

So far this year the only tadpoles are about three or four large ones left from last year, thinking they may be either leopard or Bullfrog. We usually start seeing the treefrogs, woods tree frogs, and spring peepers about mid May, leopards and bullfrogs start showing up late june but I can't tell them apart until they get about 3" long then I can only determine that those are one of the two. never know until they actually emerge as frogs. We probably have 30+ tree frogs warming up the orchestra at night now, the bullfrog tuba I've only heard a couple of times and what ever the one is that sounds like a saxophone, that I still haven't determined what it even looks like so I can't tell what makes that sound.....

I would think frogs or toads would be pretty easy to ship but will they survive in a cold climate during winter if they are from a tropical climate is another story :fish:

Would you be able to ship some over here later on?


Not to Canada, they would be stopped at customs. Not going to chance that one, I know both parties can get in trouble if you ship something that is not allowed. Not sure on what is and what isn't but any live animal will be opened and searched. In the US I would think it could be done no problem.
