It isn't against the law from your own pond.
They do however suggest that you only transfer frogspawn to the same postcode. This is to try to reduce the spread of diseases like red leg and the new fungus that is killing frogs.
You need to ask the donor if they ahave ever had dead or diseased frogs in their garden, and if the answer is yes, don't take it.
Another thing you have to think about is that you may also transfer invasive plants like Azolla (fairy moss), Swamp stonecrop (Tilia recurva) etc which are very difficult to get rid of. I forgot to ask- do you have a pond, and how old is it? If it is quite new frogs might find it by themselves. |
