• Rescued Frog eggs into new 8 foot water tank

Leopard Frog eggs were laid in an overflow bucket overnight. Caretakers relocated the eggs into a net in the new large 8 foot water tank. The net will keep them secure from predation until they are mature enough to release. The cage protects water lilly and other pond plants from being browsed by Deer.
