Frog in kitchen - should I try and catch it or just go to bed?

[jumpyjan]

Last seen behind the washing machine.

Bit scared of frogs.

Couldn't get upstairs - could it?

Is it unhygenic?

catch it
or it will die somewhere and smell
and you'll spend the next x days wondering where it is
eugh

Ewww, can you borrow a cat!

I'd close all doors possible and go to bed and pretend I didn't see it.

i could go up the stairs dont wanna freak you out or anything, probably best you try get it out the last thing you wast is a frog dying and rotting behind ya washing maching lol

If it was me, I couldn't possibly go to bed as I would be wondering where it was. You need to sort it out first. Is there a neighbour who might help? When we had a snake in our garden my dh was really scared (!) and I called a lovely man down the road who came and took it away in a box!!

poor frog! Put some washing gloves on if you are scared to touch it and put it outside.

Am torn between pretending I did not see it and going to catch it.

No helpful neighbours nearby.

Might leave it till tomorrow. Worried it might come upstairs in the night though.

You can borrow my cat, the manky thing has just caught a mouse and was meowing very loudly outside so we would all come and look at her catch! Fecking animal!

What's wrong with frogs?

I notice nobody has said "oh, poor thing"

Problem is, really hard to catch.

Jump all over the place whenever you get near - I might scream and wake DD!

When its dead everyone will say "ah poor thing!!"

Sanetjvv did say poor thing actually.

Agree, rubber gloves very useful for this type of thing.

I really can't see a frog hopping all the way upstairs
What exactly for?

Go to bed, and if it's still there in the morning then catch it and put it outside.

Poor thing. It would probably much rather be outside eating slugs, snails and beetles.

Sweet dreams.

O M G!!!!! I would leave the house! Don't do frogs! Yuck! Rather you than me, I couldn't possibly go to bed and leave it, but then I couldn't even go through my front door once, because there was a frog on the door step!

leave back door open frog will go away. i don't think it will want to come upstairs in the night unless you have something attractive to frogs up there that you haven't mentioned.

Give it a kiss, you never know

And then you will have a fox and 4 burglars in your kitchen instead .........LOL!

nothing attractive to frogs upstairs fishie.

leaving back door open won't work as no garden just a covered area full of our junk (if it died out there would never find it).

It wouldn't lay eggs behind the washing machine would it? Please say it wouldn't!

Don;t frogs lay their eggs in water???

As long as you haven;t got a pond in your kitchen I think you'll be safe

frogs have long since laid their eggs, which have turned into tadpoles and probably little froglets (but we won't worry about them now).

the frog is lost, it doesn't want to be behind your washing machine. it wants to make a nice home under the junk in your garden, where it will eat many slugs and other unpleasant animals you would not like to see. they don't live in water like fishes, they only go there to lay eggs.

there's a frog in the kitchen what am I gonna do?

washing machine does leak come to think of it!

Think I am getting tired and irrational.

Might deal with him in the morning.

Poor little thing. Could you leave a little trail of slugs to the back door?
