02.01.2022 Tink A Bell wrote... hello A few nights ago, I had the pleasure of this handsome prince arriving on my back doorstep. I had to make a few swift move to rescue him from becoming my dogs dinner! I was quite astounded to realise that this handsome guy known to be a Growling grass frog has been listed on on endangered species list since 2002. ... After contacting some environmental groups as to the best way forward for my new found friend. It was suggested that I put him back out into my garden area with the hope that he possibly has a mate in the area to reproduce with. I'm currently in the process of creating an safer habitat, with ecological area that is suited to this particular species. I'd be so grateful if you could ask local Goonawarra/ Rolling meadows residents if anyone would have the top of an old bird bath or any type of object that would be suitable to small water dwelling for my frog? thank you for your help Andrea
