How to encourage a green tree frog to stay.?
For two days I've had a large green frog hanging around my pot plants. Unfortunately I have 2 dogs and a cat that get excited when he appears (they haven't hurt or tried to date). Luckily I'm home on holidays at the moment and each time I find him and place back or around my planty fish pond. My 8yr old is just over the moon that's he's around. Can I help him to stay or will ultimately my other pets hurt him.
WOW thanks heaps Jamie. Really appreciate your words of wisdom :)

It is unfortunately very possible one of your animals may hurt or kill him. Be it on purpose or accident.
As for him staying...stop touching him. Wild animals don't like to be touched and may leave that place because they deem them dangerous. That place is most likely his home area, so he'll probably stick around for as long as he pleases. Do not feed him, others may say to, but this also draws in other unwanted animals, and when the food stops showing up, the animal may well starve because he got used to being fed. Just a warning tip. ^^;
But you CAN make your yard more tree-frog friendly. Look up things they like, types of water and plants, places they'd feel comfortable and add those objects to your yard(I should add that this may not work right off, but if it's tree frog friendly, in time it may draw in more frogs than him, so be sure it's somewhere you want it that wont be dangerous for you or them, or inconvenient for either). Just not a food supply, and you shouldn't touch! Sometimes the oils in your hands can cause their skin damage, other times it's just not a good idea because they're wild. =p Use something else to move him with if he gets too near the house or somewhere you don't want him.
