I have an in-ground pool. 14' x 28'. I have 3 or 4 ldead frogs on the bottom. Can I suck those little suckers up with my vacuum or will they clog up my pool pump? Is it better to just scoop them out with a net? The water's cold so I'm avoiding going in to the pool. Any advice? Thanx.
 
Get a leaf net and scoop them out carefully. If they’ve been in the water a long time then you might get what I’d call “Jello Frog” - the decomposed frog remains intact but literally is like the consistency of Jello pudding and will fall apart if you scoop it. I will often get a “jello mouse” in my skimmer every season or so but it’s mostly contained by the skimmer basket as I pull that out. Definitely 🤮🤮🤮
