I built a pond outside and for the past
two years when we clean the filters there are little red worms.
Should I be concerned or is it normal. Also someone told me
the frogs would eat baby fish. Is that true?
Hello Maria,
The worms in the filter mat are juvenile
earthworms. They are harmless.
Bullfrogs will eat anything they can
fit into their mouths. When adult, they will go after baby
birds and chipmunks. If you have bullfrogs, which have a
smooth back and are a medium green, they should be netted
and transported far, far away.
Green frogs and leopard frogs eat only
insects, are smaller and are great complements to any pond.
A green frog can be any color from light tan to deep green
and have a fold of skin from their tympanum back to their
hip on both sides of their back. Once they are used to you,
they will sit around and disapprove of everything you do.
Wonderful fun.
