Pacific Chorus

[TheMaskedMan]

I was born and raised in San Francisco, I also read this article. I lived on the 700 block of Athens St and in the backyards there was and still is a colony of Pacific Chorus frogs that have been there since the 1960's. They would croak when it rained I remember as a kid. You can still hear them there to this day. I was surprised the article didnt mention the frogs that live there.
My PCF should be breeding here in about 2-3 months.

Hey man,
I'm just checkin in with you.

How'd those PCF's progress?
My Leopards are doing fine.
I collect about 20 slugs fron the garden every few nights to suplliment their store-bought diets. They are loving life with all that escargot! Still no chirping though only about 2 months old.

My PCF's are doing very well. Hey thats a good idea to feed them slugs from outside, ill gather some up today, ive got millions in my yard. I have 7 frogs left, 5 females 2 males.....Im going to release 3 females in my little pond in my yard. Theres a male i hear sometimes croaking outside in the yard so i hopefully will get tadpoles this year.
Keep you posted :-)

Yes the slugs as a food source were my finding a silver lining in face of a wet year in which anything in the garden not destroyed by mildew, was eaten by creatures great & small!
To walk out there at night with a headlight & see hundreds crawling over my corn, my pumpkins, my tomatoes & peppers. it felt good to bring them to (though a perverted sense of it)...justice.
I failed to achieve my goal of using chickens as pest control this year, & don't want to use poisons in the garden.

Remember: USE NO SLUGGO OR OTHER POISONS IN YOUR YARD, or your frogs will be slipped the ultimate mickey when you feed them.
Keep me posted...I'm still wanting to get a population established outside as well.

I have only used Garden Safe snail/ killer that is safe for animals. It's a pellet that has Iron, when a snail or slug eats Iron it goes into a stupor and starves to death.I sprinkle this stuff and snails die by the tons and no birds /frogs ect are harmed...good stuff.
