Yesterday I found a frog in the garden which is really weird because the nearest pond I know of is in a park, 15mins drive away.
Although it's cold at night now I was worried that it would dry out so i put a big fruit bowl of water near it.
I looked again today and he/she's still here:S
I don't know what to do shall i save it? Give it some slugs? Catch it and release it in the park pond?
I really don't want it to die so any tips would be muchly appriciated:D
Thank u: )


*also by the look of it i would guess that it's a common frog
Thanks for the comments so far guys:D but just to add my garden is quite small and i have a dog so i don't want to leave it there if it's gonna get harmed or trapped in the garden but would i hurt it if i caught it and moved it to a pond?
 
Contrary to popular belief, frogs do not require a pond or river to survive. Frogs only go to water to lay their spawn, but the rest of the time, they live quite happily elsewhere.
I have frogs in my garden and have to check a damp area at the foot of a fence post before cutting the lawn. I would usually find two or three young frogs and would see an adult frog twice a week.
If the frog is still in the same place it could be ill or in shock. Best leave it where it is for the time being. If it is sick, it will probably die, however, if in shock, it'll probably just disappear on it's own.
 
Obviously, you're doing something right if he/she is still there. Keep doing what you're doing. Just see how long the little guy or girl sticks around. It may be using that big fruit bowl to dunk himself in every now and then. But use gloves if you're going to pick it up. I've heard people can get warts from certain types of frogs. They like worms, lady bugs, and potato bugs. I would go with the worms. You have a good and caring heart.
