| | | Re: Dead frog pics Thank you. I have recieved a reply from Froglife. Quote: |

The frog in the photo is a female with red breeding colours, they can often die at this time of year either through exhaustion after breeding or through drowning from too much male 'attention' - mating males are very enthusiastic and often more than one will try and clasp on to a female resulting in her being drowned. It's not very pleasant but unfortunately part of nature. You only need to start being concerned about diseases if you find lots and lots of dead animals.
Hope that helps.
Best wishes,
Lucy | So, I am relieved it isn't ranavirus/disease, but still sad it was a female frog. She was alive days after all the spawn was laid.
