loads of frogs, loads of amplexus, no spawn, i may have a tantrum soon.

I have tadpoles now but then I was one of the first to get spawn. ;)

I have taken some photos but cannot reduce them to the right size for posting. I haven't got all the programs back on my computer yet after OH rebooted it when a virus got into all the exe. files. Hopefully he will add the program for me this evening.

Here is the picture of some of the tadpoles. There must be thousands. :o :o

Good Grief!!!!! Must get to the lottie and check on mine.....lol ;D

At least I'm not the only one inundated with Tadpoles I seem to have millions and the pond is a teaming with them. Just hope the cats don't get at them like they did last year!

Better get on with making a hidy hole for them all!

The family of the foxes on the lottie site go round eating the tadpoles and the onion sets apparently. Will wait and see what happens to mine

We now have tadpoles. They weren't there yesterday but this morning - TADPOLES!!

I`m green with envy-I`ve just got a new pond but the grass snake problem has wiped out all the frogs in the village.

We assumed there would be a `natural balance` but it`s been 4 years now and still no frogs or toads-my garden used to be alive with them :'(

this morning there is spawn. seems my frogs just wanted to get to know each other properly before rushing into things.

I am getting very jealous,how big a pond do you need to get frogs and will they come if you build one Jeannine XX

nitiram · « **Reply #73 on:** March 17, 2007, 15:48:04 »

Last spring I built a pond that is 6feet long, 3 feet deep and 3 feet wide. My son in law brought in a bucket of tadpoles from his grandma's pond and they lived happily in there. was a bit worrie din case they didn't come back as there are no plants or anything in there. So am well pleased. Plants being delivered next week so they will have something to eat.

I would cover the pond if you havent already, blackbirds eat tadpoles like sweets.

my pond has been frozen quite a lot recently - do you think that the frog spawn will have survived ?

Jeannine · « **Reply #77 on:** March 29, 2007, 19:54:58 »

Marg, thankyou,I just might have a go now, I love frogs,next door has a pool of fish but never heard a frog, mind you his fish are a foot long . XX Jeannine
