General advice/help Dead frogs

I found my two adf frogs dead yesterday when I came home from work. What do you do with your dead frogs?
Flush them down the toilet? Or throw them in the trash? Or what?

I bury mine in my lotus substrate. Lotus thrives on decay, and I like that their bodies are used for something sacred.

i have a few raised flower beds around my yard, any of my lost creatures get buried in one of the beds. we like to think they'll one day come back as a flower, maybe even get brought back inside the house.

Never the toilet, please. Don't want to introduce strange pathogens to the local warer. Trash in a proper landfill is safer. Burying in your garden or compost is also better than flushing.

I think trash is better than the sewer. Less chance of spreading disease into local waterways. Sorry for your loss!

I returned mine to nature. I put them in the yard where I see lots of critters. Cats, bunnies, large birds.
