 Re: frog box
You making an all wire box? If you are making it with wood top, bottom, and ends like I did, just cut a pillow trap for the sides.

 Re: frog box
Sorry, I misread. Thought you were wanting wire for a box.

 Re: frog box
Curretly I am using an old 48 qt ice chest that wasn't fit for normal use anymore. I cut out a rectangular piece in the top about 10x6 inches and bolted a screen door hinge in the top to a pieice of plywood that covers the hole cut out. I just pulled the plug so the frogs can breathe and they are all fine the next day. If you like to gig and some of them may die just cover them with a little ice and you are good to go until you get to cleaning.
