Hi everyone just joined and need some advice. Around this time last year i spotted a pair of frogs in a walled area of my garden, the male was on the back of the female. I let them be and in time they disappeared, a few days later i noticed a large clump of spawn on a downspout grid which is the only source of water in that area.... and not knowing what to do i collected it and put it in a bucket of water. Nothing ever developed so i obviously did the wrong thing, i have just spotted a pair again and they will probably do the same thing. Any advice would be grateful as i do not want the same thing to happen again this year. Many thanks. David. |

Dont put chlorinated tap water in the bucket as this will kill the frog spawn use rain water from a water but or leave the water for a few days so the chemicals can go. Also the water in wich you found them may of contained harmeful chemicals in try puting a container of water in your garden sunk into the ground with a few plant

I've reared them in tap water in the past but I left the bucket outside with the water in for 2 or 3 days before putting the spawn in.
