I don't suppose you have a picture of this, or can remember how the bricks were laid out?

Thanks for the suggestion!

I don't have a photo to hand, but I recall she laid the bricks about six as a base and then built upwards in a sort of spiral "staircase" leading up to the pond. Loads of gaps between the bricks on the bottom for hideyholes and of course the moss which is really important, as Kayleigh reiterated, to prevent them from being too dry. She had the mossiest bricks she could find and gave them a sprinkle from the watering can every so often, especially when her little frogs were leaving the barrel.
