It works for me. Sometimes they live for years.

I love having frogs in my small pond. However, they don't always stay around. Since the frogs are native to your area, I think putting them in your pond sounds like fun.

I would research them to make sure you can provide the right habitat for them as they are not a typical water frog like a green frog or bull frog.. I found this site for you..

Here is a link that might be useful: Wood frog info

When I tried to stock my pond with native tree frogs they never stayed. When I built a smaller pond with no waterfall, pump or fish, they moved in right away and have never left.

One of my ponds I dug with a bulldozer is about the size of a city lot and has a lot of tadpoles in it. A friend's grandkid threw a watermelon rind into the pond and this is what happened.

There is a hole in the bottom where the tadpoles go in and out.
