Ducko Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 ye correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure the industrial standard for a common UK resisdent ground frog is 62mm x 36mm x 23mm. but i think B+Q do an non standard frog to match their ever growing rake market! but if you can steer clear of the B+Q frog/rake combo, cos its only a marketing plol to make you buy the rake THEN realise you need the compatable frogs to match.. really annoying, and dangerous when doin mass frog removal with the incorrect rake !!! ← dear god how could they do such think, id say a frog is around the size of a small dish? may vary due to the amount of lard in there diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 with its fine bristles which are a fair length id say around 10 cm long and there extremely good durability and resitance to slimy reptiles this makes it the ultimet brush. ← i have tried various amounts of reptile and i like the frog. ← Frogs are infact amphibians not reptiles in that they are adapted to survive in and out of water :P As for rakes what about one to heard all the tiny little baby frogs (N) Unfortunately the frogs in my pond haven't been "busy" enough this year and I have no frogspawn! I want my mini baby frogs :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the species of frog you are intending to herd and how high they can jump will determine the specification of pen that you will choose. The common british frog varies from around 12-15 psi of spring, so the 1.5 metre pen will probably be suitable in this case. To determine the ground area you will need to enter the number of frogs you are planning on herding, multiplied by the percentage of males to females. This will give you the preffered space required by the FSA (Frog Safety Assoc.) to allow space for courting, teritorial purposes, and of course mating. This figure will also give you the total area INCLUDING the 10% area of water mass, which is required for the offspring. Of course, upon ordering this custom pen, you will recieve a complimentary industrial sized frog herding rake, which using the latest in carbon fibre technology, allows a multiple number of frogs to be herded at one time without fear of inflicting damage to either the frogs or the rake. Please also note the the ergonomicallydesigned handle has been fashioned to allow people of different statures to comfortably and easily herd their chosen frog. Upon recieving your pen, please make sure you follow the assembly instructions carefully, as an improperlly sealed pen will cause severe distress to the frogs, and may cause them to escape. The Frog Herding Co. cannot be taken responsible for any squashed frogs resulting from poor assembly of the pen. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 personally, to enclose the amphibian frog creature ones would need a good area with a high awall as to prevent the creature from boinging over the walls and escaping, personally id use the frog-hurder2000 designed especially for the job, this has a nice soft scoup and lite bristles to poke the beast and get it to move, i believe these retail at around £5.99? good luck with hurding them :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) in relevance to the animal clearing the pen: if a frog can jump 1.5meters using 50N of enegry to do this whilst being enclosed in a pen this will increase adrenaline(10N) and anger(5N) in turn this could end up with the frog being able to jump much higher, one specimen could weigh upto 0.5KG and this would average at 1.5M jumping height and 1M in distance, so... 50N+10N+5N=65N which gives the frog much more power and therefore is a more tricky animal to contend with. 65N could equalk as much as an extra 0.5M jumping height therefore a pen would have to atleast cover a 2M height. hope this is a help.

Ducko Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) i have a reasonable amount of experience with frog-dogs but they can be quiet difficult to train after all its frogs not sheep whole diffrent ball game! i do believe there is a school where your animal could be sent and trained to tackle such animals like frogs... www.dogs4frogs.co.uk good luck with that Edited June 6, 2005 by craigdavies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
