Post Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2006 10:29 am   Hi... I'm a newbie :-)

:D Hi all. I have 2 RES that live in our pond out back. We've had them since June 2006, but don't get to see them too often. They're very shy. Fred & Ethel are about 4yrs old, that's what I've been told.
I have a lot to learn about them and so far, this site has been very helpful. Our next BIG challenge will be to try and catch these little rascles so I can get them indoors for the winter. And if anyone has any idea's on how to do this, please let me know.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself... :D

Welcome! Glad you joined us! We'd love to see pics of your pond if you have any.

As for catching them, you might try a large fishing net. Just be careful of getting their claws stuck in the netting.

Welcome. Get one of those large nets at an aquarium shop---the kind that are mesh and have really tiny holes. Tempt them near you with some smelly food, and then scoop them up. :)
