Frog spawn

[Danny_SE]

Hi guys! Does anyone local have any frog spawn in their garden - or allotment - pond? Looking for a small number of eggs (20-30) to raise with our kids, for some proper nature interaction. Promise to raise with TLC! Huge thanks. Danny

I love frogs (and toads and newts) but don't like the idea of their habitats being compromised, as this (old but well-sourced) article suggests: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7282649.stm

Thanks for posting this article, Nigello. I am aware of the issues raised and you can rest assured that they do not apply in this instance.

Hello DrEvilWallace - I've been hunting around for ages for some for my garden pond. I made it last year, especially for frogs, and I'd LOVE some spawn - or tadpoles if they've emerged...

Hi - I have hundreds of tiny tadpoles in my paddling pool

AMENDED: SORRY THEY ARE ACTUALLY MOSQUITO LARVAE 😣😣😣😣

Anyone willing to get some for their pond, feel free to come and collect as doon as possible

I really dont want to kill them all but I really need to change the water now

Thanks for them and wildlife:)
