This occasional frog croaking has been going on for several years now.

I've looked everywhere else in that room, and there's just no frogs anywhere, but every now and then he starts making noises.
(Note: The plant was planted in that pot about eight years ago. There were no frogs in it then, and the plant went directly from my former guest bedroom to my current front room - no outside rest stops. The pot is big, and exceedingly heavy - doesn't bother me enough to try to take it apart.)
Just heard him yesterday - first time in probably six months.
Can't imagine what he's eating (haven't found any evidence of bugs in that room, either), but he sings his little froggie songs to me a couple of times a year.
My question is, is this possible? Can a frog stuck between a pot and coaster (for want of a better word) live on nothing for years?

My mom once thought she had gone the way of crazy old Aunt Leona, who once called my grandmother asking "Do crickets chirp? Do mice squeak?" when her smoke alarm was emitting low battery signals.
She kept hearing a frog (toad, whatever) in her house. Turns out it was living in her spider plant that she had set outside for the summer and had recently brought back into the house.
So, as a joke, I bought a giant plastic garden frog that made frog noises. I put it on top of her plant and waited for her to hear and see the giant plastic frog sitting there.
She loves me...
