I've had very few frogs on my farm for a long time. I recently rearranged a little and a couple started jumping around, but that's it. I've tried ponds, no ponds, tapping everything. I left a little room for them to jump out of the river. Nothing works.
When I first started they were everywhere- mostly crammed together in the driveway getting run over by my truck, but now there are just two. Does anyone have any hints about bringing them back?
Thank you!
Did you rearrange using edit mode? Others have found they lost captive frogs and foxes that way, so it seems edit mode has an effect on frogs.Quote:

Hope this helps!
Its winter. Do you want then to freeze to death ?
I have a ton of them on my farm since two months, I don't know why, they just came naturally. I placed a fence all around them lol. There's around 40-50 frogs.
Perky would be perfect for giving frog wrangling tips. She has Frogcatraz on her farm.
Perky? Yoohoo
I don't know why but I have a ton of frogs just camped in a small little area behind my mansion :smirk: I haven't fenced them but reading here I think I should so they don't escape.
Mine love my raspberry bushes, I'm not sure if that's a coincidence due to where they're planted though. Foxes like raspberry bushes.
Thank you! I didn't use edit mode. I'm old skool, yo. ;) I'm going to try to tap the pond and then store it again. Thank you!Quote:

I have these two who appeared when I started rearranging my farm. They have just stayed back by the mansion. No more have appeared since. :(
So- I tried tapping the pond and then storing it. The frogs jumped back into the spot where the pond had been. I almost cried. :(Quote:

You still have some original bogs over on the right hand side and those usually draw in the hoppers! Maybe try sitting a couple of ponds out over on that side, doing the tap and just leaving them out and not storing them? The frogs on my farm hop in and out of my ponds all the time. Some days I have more visible than others. Once ya get some out though, bushes seem to sorta contain them. Kinda like those stay behind your house and don't go past your raspberries. Good luck!!
Thank you, Lea! I'll give it a shot. Happy Holidays!Quote:

Maybe you can't get more frogs on your farm until spring? I'm not complaining about this part but I haven't even seen a fox trying to get on my farm for weeks now. Maybe when winter gets flipped on you keep what you have but until spring there's no new critters invading?
Tapping worked yesterday, but not today. Very strange...I've had a few foxes, but far less than when I was keeping then penned up. Weird.Quote:

So here's a better quality of the picture :)
Used the tutorial that Wussypuss sent me in private! Thank you! Thanks also to you Neen :)
I tried fencing up my frogs but while doing so half escaped and then later on the others just started jumping over the fence and leaving so I just removed my fencing and let them free.
Maybe they will come back in the end of winter???
So jealous! They are so dang cute. It's what kept me playing the game when I first started. I hope they come back soon.Quote:

Personally me they came on my farm for absolutely no reason, I don't know why they came, I haven't bought any pond or stuffs they like. They are just jumping there since two months and they never left. But I never used edit mode and I probably won't, I don't want to lose those frogs haha.Quote:

I personally don't want the frogs, so I have my shoreline completely covered and this has worked for me :o
Yes. I just opened up some land there and I left a clear path from the river to the mansion. Still waiting....Quote:

I spotted this little guy an hour or so ago. He's gone now. RIPbit
When I find frogs on my farm, I sell them to the French. They just love their legs.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Send them to me! Save the Frog Legs! Save the Frog Legs! Save the Frog Legs!
Here are my best Frog tips:
First, clear a wide path from the river to the interior of your farm.
Buy a couple of small ponds and a boatload of green hedges. Store them.
Wait for the frogs to jump out of the river, and when you get 3-4-5, pull out a pond and put it on a straight line to where the frogs are to entice them deeper into your farm land. Start pulling out green hedges and make a corral.
Use that pond to draw the frogs to the corral and at the last moment put the pond on the other side of the corral, and the frogs will hop into the corral. Drop hedges to enclose the corral and they are trapped.
Repeat until you have all the frogs you want.
You can also let frogs hop into the pond, and then put it inside a large corral and tap tap tap until they all jump out, and move the pond - but I find that I can't move the pond fast enough to get all the frogs out before some jump back in.
DON'T EVER USE EDIT MODE -- You WILL lose ALL your frogs. I tried edit mode, and when I went back to my regular layout, all my frogs were outside of the frogcatraz and making a beeline for the river. It was a lot of hard work to recapture everyone, but I finally did it.
Make sure your pen is large enough to hold your frogs with 2 squares of extra room all around. Stash a pond behind a row of hedges to keep the frogs from wandering.
I have maybe 100 frogs or more in my Frogcatraz now -- I love my frogs!!
Sorry B - been in remote Big Bend National park for the last 4 days. No cell service, and no wifi (except at the ranger stations and at one point down the Balanced Rock Trail). But wow -what a place!!Quote:

I'm going to remove the x-mas decos today. Maybe that will help, too. I'l keep you posted.....
