A Stuck Frog

[QUOTE 4726722, member: 9609"]Have never been able to see the frog, it could be many feet from the bend, no way at all to reach it.[/QUOTE]
Hang on ... this isn't the frog then?

I shouldn't worry too much. Frogs and Toads have been known to live for years down drains. Toads in particular can live a very long time in one place.

How about a spot of keyhole surgery with a Schramm T130 XD?

How'd you know that last part?

I just assumed they were randy. There were hundreds of frogs just sitting on freshly rained on roads. Just sitting and occasionally being run over, once by me. Just sitting and waiting. I assumed it was sex.

Google tells me I am very wrong. It's way outside their mating and migratory seasons, so I guess they were all there waiting for slugs and snails to appear.

And from some familiarity with cane toads, I should not accuse any other amphibians of being randy. Male cane toads will attempt to mate with anything, include long dead roadkill, fish in ponds and mud.

Could you maybe send down a ferret?

Jeez what kind of life is that? Stuck down a drain for years!

Do not Google images of frog extractor. It is not nice.

Only if there are worms and other things to eat. It's spiders who can exist for years on apparently nothing but thin air.

If the frog/toad can get down there, them it's reasonable to presume that other smaller creepy crawlies can as well.
Why move when you've got shelter and a ready supply of food?
It's a bit like a pensioner sitting in Wetherspoons.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Anyone suggested using a snake to get it out yet?

And actually the frog may be on to something here....all the bugs and creepy crawlies fall down the drain and can't get back out providing a ready food supply. Like those funnel web spiders no?

Actually it could be a funnel web frog. I'm sure I've heard of those

Somebody suggested a ferret which I think is the same joke.

 

[Drago]

What do frogs eat? Cats? Lure it out with a slice of dead cat?

Mine was a bit more exotic

If you happen to have a neighbour called Jack you could have a natter with him. I bet he could help
