Pacific Chorus Frogs living on my balcony

[VoniLei]

About 2 months or so ago, I found a pair of Pacific Chorus frogs on my upstairs balcony. I moved them down to my vegetable garden, but two days later, they were back on the balcony. They seem to really like the mint plant I have out there! So I added a small bowl of water with an overturned bowl leaning on it for shelter, and a few days later, a third frog moved in.

I'm thinking of building them a small patio water garden in a painted galvanized steel bucket (about 2 feet or so across) to keep them happy. Any hints on what I should plant in there (other than mint, of course) to keep them happy? I was going to section off the bucket so that at least 1/3 of it was 'land' area with plants, moss and such and put water on the other side with some pond grass and perhaps a water lily or something. In the land area I was planning on buying one of those half log things I've seen at pet stores for lizards and/or snakes...should I hollow out some of the dirt under it for a burrow?

I'm enjoying having them living out there, and I'd really like them to stick around, so any tips for attracting and keeping frogs in the yard would be much appreciated!

This is what they've got now...I know the water bowl needs to be cleaned out (I do that every couple of days as leaves fall in) but I didn't want to disturb this guy to do it:

Oh how cute! That's awesome! I hope you'll post more pictures. That sounds good. I'm sure they'll love it.

Oh, well that I can do! The first pic is one of them hanging out on a mint leaf. The second is two of them just chillin' in the 'pond'



I'll post more after I get their water garden finished
