We moved to our wonderful smallholding 3 years ago, and guess who was so pleased that a nature loving new family arrived! The frogs are not disturbed here, and since no poisons are used in the house or out in the garden, the have a royal time. We now have babies, and 3 generations( I think) of frogs come and go as they please! Amazing if you think they share the land with 6 dogs! :-)
