I have been to a couple of ponds that have bull frogs in them. But the thing is that everywhere i find bull frogs, i find burrows. I dont know if the bull frogs are makeing them so that is why i  maked this post. The burrows entrance sarts at the waters edge and then inside the burrrow, there is a upward angal that leads to a hole on the surface. Are the burrows being created by the bull frogs or is it something else?

They call me the casmatic amigma. They call me jeff hardy.

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

I own:

1 bearded dragon
2 leopard geckos
2 3-toed box turtles
1 sand boa

1 green iguana

AND COUNTING!!!!!!

Bull frogs can't burrow, they are not "designed" for that. /don't know what else made it. small enough for a small mammal?

I know that they arnt built to burrow. But i dont know what else would make this. And although it is large enough so a small mammel can fit through it, i am certin that it is something in the pond. One end of the thing is faceing the pond. In fact, sometimes the floor of the burrow is flooded with water. So, it would only make sence that a aquatic or at least a semi-aquatic creature would make it. The only other large animals in the pond that i know about are northern leopard frogs and at leats two kinds of painted turtle. And since like the bull, the leo frog is not built for digging, the turtles are the only other animals that would make a burrow like that but there is still doubt in this explination too.

They call me the casmatic amigma. They call me jeff hardy.

I dout that crayfish have bodys that are 2-21/2ft wide. Becouse thats what the burrows widness is. That seems too big to be a crayfish.
