I thought she was a toad the day before when I saw her sitting right next to the, Under the shed Woodmouse,( you never have the camera when you need one) she is large all over. If she is about tonight I will try to have a closer look to see if she is puffing herself up.

My Fat Froggy Friend is back in the pond tonight and not showing her tum, so testing the puffing up will have to wait.

Yesterday it rained all day here, good weather for frogs. When I flashed the torch around the shed after dark, there was a large frog sitting there, but she didn't look so fat. She sat in the torch light and didn't puff up, the other day I could have walked too close to her and given her a fright, unless of course there is another fat frog about.

I also have a large fat frog in my pond. It is sitting next to a marsh frog, so maybe it has inflated itself to scare the marsh frog, but it has been like this for nearly two hours now. If it had inflated itself, would it be able to stay this way for so long? I will check again later to see if it is still the same.

I think my fat frog is in the pond again, are they using air to puff up? if it isn't over eating the slugs.

I now have two huge fat frogs in my pond, if this was January I would think they were full of spawn, but its only september. They are not puffing themselves up to look bigger as the have been like this all day. Has any one else got frogs this fat at the moment?

My big frogs are in the pond today but rain is on the way so I will have a look at them later if they are out and about in the rain.
