Inked Mama ? Beautiful Disaster asked:


We have a draper pond pump and around this time of year frogs are constantly being ****** into it and obviously dying. We’ve tried wrapping it in firm mesh but no luck. Any other solutions?
Chicken wire is what we’ve already tried.

I will suggest the colander and aluminium screening ideas to my dad (he’s the pond-sorter-outer, I’m the pro-frog-activist / messenger!) – thanks guys!
