Like the comforting soft croaking of backyard frogs? Dislike bugs and mosquitoes? Then why not learn how to set up a frog pond in your own backyard?

What you may not know about the garden frog is that it can cope with climate diversity like no other animal. It’s not uncommon to find them in the snowfields or even surviving in desert wastelands! That’s a pretty easy pet. You only need to be as nurturing as a desert to keep your frogs happy, and in return they will eat the insects and mosquitoes which bug you; attract birdlife; cool your garden in summer; and help create a little micro habitat right in your own backyard.
