| Hi all
Ive just put a pond in last month and im looking to kick start the widlife with some frog spawn. Ive had a look in the local ponds but cant find any. Have i missed the spawn? are they tadpoles now? I live in washington (uk). Any one know of a place in T&W were i will find some spawn or taddies?
Kind Regards

Most spawn in the area has hatched.
Would you like to send me a private message asap? I may be able to give you a few from my home pond. (depending on when you are available) |

I should also say that ideally you should wait for frogs to find your pond next year. If not, get them from a nearby neighbour's pond with their permission rather than a wild pond.
You also need to be sure that you are getting taddies from healthy stock ie not from frogs with red leg disease.
Also you need to beware of importing invasive plants into your pond. If you email me (click on my name at the top of this message) I will tell you what is wrong with my pond, and you can decide for yourself.
What have you put in your pond so far? oxygenators?, marginal? water lilies? pond life? fish? |

| No email from you- so I hope you have managed to find some. |
