Dont look at me, there is no bloody way I'll wear green shocks.... not even on St Patricks day.

Oh and should this thread not be in Off Topic?

No ways dude. It's animals and habitats. Thus natural sciences

Best not to move the frogs to far. Not sure of the whole reason why. Something to do with bacteria and other such, sometimes they can make frogs in other aread ill = bad for the new area....

Gonna take it to work tomorrow and release it in the Midrand part of the Jukskei. Same river as it probably came from, just much higher up and cleaner

Never heard of Amphibian relocation before do you also include the akkedis.

No one has asked what type of frog it is? Post a pic. If it a common frog you do more damage by putting it in a nature area with rarer species.

In the east ?

I'd take it to the Germiston lake... or release it in to one of those joining streams

Relocation from swiming pool to river. Jukskei near the swimming pool is too polluted to put him back, hence Midrand.
Here's a photo

Germiston Lake is too far. Was considering Zoo Lake

Drop the frog into a stormwater drain. It will survive and thrive!
