CushtyJook 1,097 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Also appears to have a bad front leg I hate the bloody things as they carry parasites that can spread to koi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Looks like a female, going on the size of it and those patches would be where a male would lock its front legs around when in amplexus. Early for randy frogs though! Could just be the colour of it though, looks to have red on the inside of its far back leg as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Looks like it's been trod on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Looks like it's been trod on. I think it's been bashed around by fish to be honest they where like sharks circling and when they seen me they thought they'd get fed so can get quite boysterous i have one fish which is around around 35 pound in weight and has pushed smaller fish out of pond before at feeding time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
