Hi I just made a small pond and placed the plants and rocks and an old log that’s kind of hollow. I can’t wait to see if we get company. It’s kind of full sun but I placed a big fern and tall grasses. I’m also going to put a small shrub near the pond to add to shade .

In reply to Kathi. @Shelle Wells, we have a huge bullfrog in the yard next door. Our neighbors have a swampy pool situation. We named him Jeremiah. He honks quite loudly night and day. All the other little frogs and toads hang around in my patio garden and out front. I will be using the extra clay pots to fix up a little habitat. So fun!

I recently built a waterfall with a creek and two large ponds. I adore frogs as when I was young we used to get many bullfrogs during monsoon season in our yard. They were so amazing and beautiful. I knew I wanted to have a frog habitat when I was older. Here it is many moons later and I was lucky enough to get an absolute metric ton of flagstone for free. I decided I wanted to build a waterfall out of it. I now have everything ready but was unsure as to what I need to begin attracting frogs. Your article has given me some incredible ideas and I am happy to say that I have seen two very young frogs near the pond and I am over the moon. I was a bit worried that the noise from the waterfall was going to scare them away but thankfully it is not that loud. Now I will get to work on hideaway houses for them. Thank you again for all your wonderful ideas.

I love this article and will try my hand at making one as I already have most of the supplies. I would love to have this to go along with all my bird feeders and birds baths. Do you think that frog would eat dried mealworms? Please and thank you

In reply to Esli. @Esli, they will absolutely eat roaches, even the huge ones. I witnessed this exact thing a few nights ago with the toad that lives near my backyard water spout. The toad was still as a rock as the roach crawled over its face and then the roach was just gone. Toads are awesome.

In reply to Esli. Yes, kids can touch toads, most are harmless. There are a few tropical species that you probably don't want to touch but most are fine.

Lovely article! I have always been scared of toads, but have recently learned that they are good for gardens! I have a phobia for cockroaches so if they can eat those, I will be more than happy to keep them comfortable in my garden! I have a mom and two baby toads living in my flowerbed. I think they are gulf coast toads. They come out in the evening when I water. My sprinkler system keeps things moist as well. After reading your article, I want to make a toad home! Also, did you say kids can touch the toads?
