I live in central NJ and out by my pool I have a small pond and waterfall with an aquatic plant. In the end of May a small Frog took up residency in the pond and then 2 others. Now this trio (named- Bud, Weis, Er) of course are now about 2-3 inches and I do not want them to die for the winter. I usually drain that pond for the winter and shut the pump off. I tried to relocate them to a different pond that I leave on all winter that has a heater in it over the summer and they didn't like it. Within a day they were again on the other side of the property in pools pond.
Any suggestions on what I should do? I would love to see them back next spring and lay some eggs because it appears to be two females and one male green frog. Thanks for any help.
