    Default Relocating a frog from pond to pond

    I have a young American Bullfrog that somehow has appeared in my pond a year ago. Our house is for sale and we've bought another house (in the same city) without a pond. I have 3 large old goldfish that I'll be making a pond for at the new house. Can I capture this frog and bring him with us to the new pond? I may mention that the current pond is really a large fountain that the previous owners had kept pristine clean with chlorine - I'm worried the next owners may eliminate the "fish pond" aspect of it and the frog will be left high and dry.

    The frog can move on by itself or you can bring it with you. I would kill it myself. Just to let you know, American bullfrogs are not native to California and are devastating native frogs such as the red-legged frog. This may sound heartless, but I would destroy it and every bullfrog I find in California. I would rather have red-legged in my fountain if I were you, than the invasive, large predatory bullfrog.

    Of course if you follow my advice, make sure you can tell the difference between the bullfrog and the native frogs. I wouldn't want you destroy the natives, some of which are in real trouble. California Frogs and Toads On this list I = introduced species and F = expatriated species.
