    You don't buy frogs. If you have a wildlife pond and there are frogs around then they will just move in as and when they are ready.

    Frogs are wild animals and not for sale anywhere. If they like your pond they will come.

    I think it is @Fairygirl as the OP has done an identical post to this one. Hmmm buy a frog? I see a business opportunity! Only kidding.

    Well - that lazy b*gger that lives in my garden isn't earning his keep @Ladybird4, so the first offer of £1,000 and I'll send him packing.
    I might even take £900.... ;)

    You never know ... some folk are surprisingly lacking in knowledge about wildlife

    The OP may have seen something like that 🤔

    Call the RAC (Royal Amphibian Club) and get him toad away....

    I'll get my coat.  :D

    Sitting watching tv yesterday evening with the door to the garden open, we were joined in the sitting-room by a frog ... it’s not the first time it’s happened ... we’re trying to establish whether there are particular programmes they prefer ...🐸  📺

    I used to keep tree frogs when I was a kid. If you like a pet that makes a very loud noise like it's sawing wood in the middle of the night then it's the best pet you can get. :|  Gets you accustomed to having an OH that snores though I guess.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
