  • Got these little fellas in my pond. Id say a few thousand.

    I had me a hedgehog in my garden last night.

    I used to keep and raise frogs and toads many years ago, I had a bull toad that was about 4-5 when I released it. I think all kids and yootdem should keep and/or raise amphibians and reptiles at some point, it taught me the values of looking after others as well as giving kids a sense of responsibility.

    We used to catch frogs from the pond. When these fellas get bigger Ill try and pick one up to. Although I did hear that frogs skin burns when you touch them ?

    That’s only very certain species of frog, most English species are harmless, but washing hands after handling is always recommended. Although I’m no amphibian expert, I can’t really see UK frogs and toads have nigh on carcinogenic or harmful chemical make ups, at most I’d say they’d give you über Delhi belly or na titchy patch of skin dependant of contact area.

    I mean the frog skin, it burns from your touch (I was always told)

    Well I just googled, they have super sensitive skin. Its sensitive because they use it to absorb water.
    So all the natural oil and salt in your skim absorbs in there, too much and they can die.

    I havent found any source to suggest plastic gloves are better? I think the best bet is to not hold them for long periods of time.

    Upon not doing any sort of research other than sitting around with two very tired shih-tzu puppies on me, I was watching Nigel Marvin in Columbia, some of the frogs he was leaping around to catch were not exactly safe. One he picked up (not bare handed) contained a venom strong enough to kill nearly 60 people in a manner truly horrific….so I’ll tell you all as I’m sure you’d love to know:

    1. initial contact caused inflammation and soreness, life crabs but 1000% worse.
    2. 1-2 hours said area begens to swell, filling with dead, toxic blood cells.
    3. 3-4 hours the whole limb becomes dead, the tissues necrotizing from the inside out, the stomach ceases functioning.
    4. 5-6 hours eyes, ear, nose, mouth, anus, penis/vagina begin to weap coagulated blood and tissue, vocal ability is non-existent now.
    5. 7-8 hours internal organs begin to shut down, starting with the kidneys, then the liver, by now your in a fever similar to malaria or cholera.
    6. lung begin to fill with toxic foam.
    7. death.

    All this from a frog the size of a matchbox car……Nature is more powerful than use pathetic humans, I believe those of us whom show no malice or spite to her will be fine when she decides enough is enough…..

    I popped back to the pond today and thwy are now tadpoles. Soo many of them. Sections of the pond are black and dense with them.
    I also helped a little girl catch s few newts. Got give all in all and a few snails.
    My phone cant take ohotos but I will burrow my bfs tomorrow and hopefully take some

    Yeah I heard that frogs feel pain from the oils on our skin burning them. Not sure how true it is though. I’ve definitely heard it before.

    There amphibians so absorb oxygen though there skin, thus abosrbing the nasty chemical shit we put on our skin. Latex gloves are the safest option for both frog and human, as they can carry some pretty nasty diseases and virus, some frogs have been know to carry the worst of them all, the acanthamoeba, which can cause blindness and in very extreme cases, death.
