2. How to manage the bullfrog through the winter

1. Cave overwintering:

In order to adapt to the habit of burrowing the bullfrog, we can loosen the soil around the frog pond and dig several caves with a diameter of 15cm and a depth of 1m at the sunny leeward to keep it moist so that the bullfrog can enter the cave and hibernate.

2. Diving to survive the winter

The frog pond should be kept at a depth of 1m to 1.2m, do not let the water surface freeze, and the bottom of the pond should be thick with silt 6~9cm, so that bullfrog diving dormant silt overwintering. When you encounter continuous cold and freezing weather, it is necessary to break the ice on the water surface to prevent the freezing of bullfrog body fluids and blood.

An earthen wall is built to the north of the frog pond, about 70cm high, and the east and west ends form a triangular earth wall high in the north and low in the south. 40cm above the water surface, it is framed with wood and bamboo and covered with grass curtains (repeated overlay), surrounded by the edge of the pool, keeping the water temperature at about 10 ℃.

4. Overwintering indoors

In the indoor sunny direction, use brick to build a pool with about high 50cm, spread loose soil 30cm or so in the pool, and then put a water basin in the pool, the edge of which is as high as the soil, so that the soil can maintain a certain humidity for a long time. The entrance of the pool is covered with a film package, and a 40W light bulb can be hung in the pool to warm up to ensure the bullfrog to survive the winter safely.
