Bufo frog I hate them!!!!! My boo boo went out today for his usual playtime and had to find a bufo frog when I was not looking... I don't know what to do to frog proof my yard does anyone have any suggestions... Also I usually rinse his mouth really well with water and give him lemon juice which I heard is good is there anything better? I'm at least grateful it wasn't one of my smaller babies that can't ingest as much as my big boy.....by the way did I mention I HATE THOSE FROGS GRRR!!!! |
can i come live at ur house i love frogs Sienna trys to eat snails daily |
Not these frogs they are poisonous to dogs my sistster in laws dog just died 2 weeks ago from eating one believe me if you have a choice between your yorkie and a bufo frog you will not pick the frog it makes them foam at the mouth and causes seizures hopefully you don't have them where you live... |
Oh my! I did not know our babies would go after frogs!! Let alone poisonous ones! I hope your little one is doing ok. We have frogs here around my house too. I guess I need to find out what they are and if they are dangerous for my girl. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? I don't have a clue for you. Good luck!! Oh, and I hate frogs too!! |
My booboo will chase anything that moves I think it's the terrier in him. I don't know how to get rid of them I was hoping someone on here had some ideas but I think I may have offended some people when I said I hate them. I think they are native to south Florida you may not have wo |
By the way he is doing fine thank you for asking. I keep a pretty close eye on them when outside more so at night when the frogs really come out but every now and then we see one during the day and leave it to my booboo to find it. |
My little one got hold of one last year and it freaked me out. She was foaming at the mouth and of course I was going nuts:eek: After we rinsed her mouth out really good she was fine , but she has never tried to get another one!!! Sorry you had to go through that and that everything is alright . It is a scary feeling and for me it was scary to see! |
My Finnigan goes crazy after frogs too! He just got ahold of a normal toad last time and even it made him start foaming at the mouth. |

Wow! If you have them in NC and she has them in FL, I guess I better educate myself on these frogs. Anyone have a picture of one?:eek: |
Those kinds of frogs are very toxic and have caused alot of deaths - I researched them when I had toads in my yard - non toxic but what I read on the Bufo's was scary - We luckily don't have them in houston |
LOL my older dog Jess chases the frogs in our garden. She dosnt get them in her mouth just sort of hops after them :) |
I found this site on them it says to rinse mouth out with water but like I said in my earlier post I heard lemon juice helps also I'm not sure though well at least it doesn't hurt Bufo Toad Poisoning |
Frogs 1 Attachment(s) Hey, I'm right here in Florida (Palm Bay) with you and these frogs are all over the place. Somebody just tell us how to keep them out of the yard! I found out last year when my yorkie started foaming at the mouth and shaking her head uncontrolably. I ran her to the neighbor's house and she told me the frogs were poison to dogs. What the heck...my nephews played with them and no reaction. I couldn't believe it. Not long after that incident, she just sniffed one and had the same reaction. I think she has learned to stay away from them, but now I have a new baby who is now six months and she is finding every little frog there is in the yard...and they are all over the place. The baby frogs are as tiny as a pencil eraser and she is finding every one of them. I caught her chasing one with foam coming out of her mouth a couple of weeks ago. I rushed her inside and rinsed her mouth out. She is just not learning the word "NO" when it comes to chasing frogs! How can we minimize the amount in the yard? |

Ahhh I would FREAK if my Oliver started to eat frogs and snails! I don't blame you for your concern!! :eek: |
Oh my goodness! I don't blame you for being upset. I hope you are able to find a way to keep your babies away from them :eek: In the meantime, I would walk them on a leash to keep an eye on them. It wouldn't be worth losing your babies :( |

Ziva picked up a frog last winter- boy was I freaking out! She was very sick over it, but after we googled the info we just held on for a while and she came around. I have cleaned up all the dead leaves and move the garden hoses every week and sweep behind everything. She is now limited to a fenced in portion of the yard and I go outside with her.She ate something last week that gave her a sore mouth, she would not eat all day and laid in our arms, very sad...I think she chewed on a purple "oyster" plant we found a small one growing wild in the grass with a chewed leaf a few days later. |

Frogs We're in NE also, close to the Senior Center. We live on the corner of two canals and this is where our problem is coming from. We do not have standing water in the yard, but the canals are breeding these frogs like crazy! I still get eaten up by bugs, so they're not eating them! ha ha The city sprays the canals several times a year, but I think it's for the mosquitos. This is the first year I've seen so many frogs. I wish I could do something to minimize them. I watch my babies when they go outside to potty, but these little frogs just get them going and my little one just wants to chase them. I've been throwing them back over the fence, but I think they're coming back. My neighbor steps on them. ugh! |
I know where that is:) I am on the Tillman canal. I haven't seen any frogs lately, used to get a lot that just clung to the outside of the windows at the back of the house. But I think they were what we called "stone frogs" |
Fyi I am not trying to offend anyone by posting this. I just read it on the site Beamers Mom posted because I wanted to know what the frog looked like. The site said this: Giant Toads produce poison from glands behind the head. The poison is highly toxic to most animals and produces pain and local inflammation if it contacts the eyes. Most predators are quickly killed after ingesting this substance. Dogs and cats which bite Giant Toads die within a few hours. Native species of reptiles and mammals are also vulnerable. The eggs and tadpoles of Giant Toads are also poisonous. Giant Toads can be removed and disposed of humanely (as recommended by the IFAS Animal Use Approval Committee) by placing them in a plastic container (or bag) in the freezer for three days and then burying the carcasses. If you do not wish to handle the toads, contact a local nuisance animal trapper. At FloridaGardener.com we believe that there seems to be no real need to make an active effort to control Giant Toads as they are more beneficial than harmful in the home yard and garden. However, if the population of toads grows out of control or you believe they may be a threat to your children, pets, or wildlife in your yard, then you may find it necessary to control the population in your yard. I think I would do whatever was necessary to control these. I wish all of you the best of luck! |
We have those ugly disgusting Bufo's in Hawaii too. A couple weeks ago Meika was barking her head off at one on the lawn in the dark. I had to get her inside, then go scoop it up with the pool net and put in the trash can. I don't know if there is a way to keep them away, I just dispose of them whenever I find one. They sleep during the day and come out at night to catch bugs, especially under a yard light. |
Frogs I've tried just about everything except freezing them. I don't think Animal Control can help; there are too many. Although I see quite a few during the day, they show their ugly little heads at night. I know I pick up about six every night. My freezer is going to be full!!! Anyone like frog legs? ha ha I started my lawmower last week and those little things just scattered. I didn't even see them until the mower started. (I use the bag on the mower in the back yard. It keeps my babies from bringing in grass and it helps to suck frogs up!) I'm not sure there is any help, really. I don't know why there is an overabundance this year also. |
I heard that freezing them is the humane way of killing them I try and keep the grass in my yard cut so they don't have tall grass to hide in and also not give them any place to hide and I have a privacy fence you know the tall 6' wooden ones and they must dig under it to get in because with all that I still have a frog problem I just saw 4 tonight when I took the dogs out for potty..... |
According to the University of Florida, you can "contact a local nuisance animal trapper." Do you have anything like that around you? Or what about the game and fish? Will they do anything? From what I am reading these little guys are a huge problem. And the only control I am seeing is the freezing. Wow, you all have a mess. |
In all honesty I don't think calling anyone will help. What I mean is I can trap them just as well as they can but they always come back there are so many. I was thinking maybe getting chicken wire and kinda bury it under my fence if that makes sense, because I keep thinking they must be digging their way in I just know how deep they are willing to dig to get in. |
Chicken wire worked to keep a beagle we had in the yard. He was a digger too. But with the chicken wire he couldn't get out. I think I would give it a try. Good luck!! |
