This lovely frog house will be used as a retreat by frogs, toads and other amphibians throughout the year. It provides a cool, safe space that gives protection from predators such as buzzards and domestic dogs and cats. Oh and garden tools too!
The common frog becomes active from late January, and the toad from early March through until October. During these warmer months (a UK warm of course), the open-fronted shelter helps to keep amphibians cool as it allows contact with the damp soil – they don’t cope particularly well in the baking heat!
Frogs and toads tend to start hibernating (which involves reducing their activity) when the cool weather kicks in which is usually from about October in the UK. Toads and female frogs will be the predominant users of the frog house at this point as they normally spend winter on land. Male species usually spend winter at the bottom of a pond – it makes us chilly just thinking about it! The frog shelter is made from 100% recyclable NPLAS material, using a proportion of second-life plastic. The shelter also has an enclosed ‘overwintering' shelf at the rear to prevent them from getting too cold during their hibernation months.
Where should I put this frog house?
To ensure your frog house is as beneficial as possible to your local amphibian population, you want to place it near a pond or a damp area in a quiet, cool, shaded position. Once placed, you can leave it for the frogs and toads to discover!
In the winter months, to provide some extra insulation and to ensure the ‘overwintering shelf’ is of maximum benefit, cover the frog house in extra vegetation such as leaves and moss.
Why is it important to look after our frog and toad population?
Like much of our wildlife, frog and toad populations have fallen in recent years mainly due to habitat loss. Throughout their lifecycles, frogs and toads play an important role in ecosystems and food chains. As tadpoles they eat algae, helping to regulate blooms and reducing the chances of algal contamination. As frogs, they help keep pesky bugs at bay. In fact, they act as great natural pest control in your gardens by eating up slugs! They also act as an important food source for different species of birds and fish. The disappearance of frogs can have knock-on effects throughout their wider food web.
Little things like adding a pond (if you are able) in your garden, having a compost heap in something like our recycled plastic composter and the avoidance of using pesticides and slug pellets (instead use natural measures like our felt shillies and natural slug deterrent) can all help your local frog population.
With all local and garden wildlife, providing food and habitat is the best way to protect them. That can be ‘artificially’ with things like feeders and shelters, or by planting more vegetation. We do a bit of both in our Buy Land Plant Trees project which you can read about here.

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
