Growling Grass Frogs thriving

27 April 2023

Remember our Growling Grass Frogs? Last month we participated in Taskforce Growler, helping to relocate 30 frogs from the lagoons at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant to the Winton Wetlands.

Pictured here is the largest of the frogs, affectionately known as Glenise, at 50-60 grams and 87mm long!

We're thrilled to say they are thriving in their new home and ready to be moved into the outdoor lagoons. The protocols in place for hygiene, feeding and monitoring have also proven successful.

Below you can see Glenise being handled with care to be weighed, measured and inspected for signs of Chytrid fungal infection.
