True, but I've noticed that some garden ponds have difficult exits for froglets. Even if they want to escape the warm water, they can't because there's nothing for them to help them get out.
Paradoxically, some tiny froglets may be able to clamber up near-vertical surfaces when there's a high surface tension, like wet glass, but not sheer-sided pond walls.
