whitewitch Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 We've had tadpoles a couple of days now. Our pond is in the sunlight for most of the day, its been there since last year as the little pond we had before was too small for the fish to survive last winter, so we made it a lot bigger and deeper, its got a pump and filter and quite a few plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wednesday1 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Unbelievably, some of the tapioca that I poured into the pond as a substitute for the real thing, has begun to hatch into tadpoles, or should that be tappoles? Hope they weather the cold spell which is forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy lady Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Last week the toads arrived just as the last frogs were leaving. I counted at least 7. They have produced a number of egg threads in a different part of the pond from where the frog spawn is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harri73 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi all Need some advice here, I have a pond, but over the last few years there has been no frogspawn, now I'd really like to try to get the frogs back again, so it's a case of aquiring some frogspawn, firstly are you allowed these days to go get a bucket full? And secondly I'm in the heeley area and is there anywhere I can get some, and I suppose thirdly if I put the frogspawn in the pond when they mature will they stay or try to hop off to the place they were born? Many thanks indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parvo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 NO do not go and get a bucketful, taking from the wild is unethical if not illegal I think frogs and toads are getting endangered.............and there is a disease about called red leg or something which if you start moving stuff about you risk spreading it.. To be honest if your pond is frog friendly they will show up at some time.....mine did after a few years....but so far this year there's nothing in it.....I think the frogs are still in bed....
