Frogspawn - got any yet?

He,s that disgusted David, He,s thinking of Sunderland...Hahahaahaha. NO..

 

Frogs in pairs in amplexus, no spawn yet netted one pair yesterday convinced the female was dead and the male was into necrophilia after a few seconds they both legged it back to the pond :eek: I have the same problem as you Lyn I have a fish pond and a wildlife pond the frogs insist on mixing it with the fish, I end up having to ship the spawn from one pond to the other, I think the reason is one pond is in more sun than the other it must be slightly warmer hence more attractive.

 

Seen one or two frogs the past week or so, but pond has been frozen over the last few days, so nothing yet (it would be early for us though.)

 

Well - went into the garden last night and there were 2 frogs doing what froggies do in the pond YAY!!!! Unfotunatley, we had a cold night and although there was no ice on the pond, this morning there's just some small white bubbles - will it swell up during the day, or should it have done so by now???? :confused:

 

We have got so many tadpoles in our pond that you can scoop handfuls out. The surface weed needs thinning out but we daren't do anything because it is also full of them:eek:

 

send me some.

i have some pinheads, but i think they are tadpoles (they are that small)

 

Our pond was 85% filled with frogspawn, full of frogs and a great success...until we came back from our holiday to Paris.

All the frogspawn had sunk and deteriorated, there waas a decomposing frog, the water was milky white, smelly, and beginning to bubble.

This is the second year this has happened. I am wondering if perhaps there is just TOO MUCH frogspawn?

 

JB - that does NOT sound healthy:eek:

 

Frogspawn arrived today..............coincidently exactly the same day as last year despite the weather..

 

Yes.. a few days ago now. and very busy today..
Jarbax.. does not sound good for your frogs. I have not heard of that problem, but if I was to guess I have to agree its overcrowded.

 

Spotted some spawn the other week in the college standing down area in the tubs of papyrus & lillies

 

Four clumps of spawn now although one was infertile so I disposed of it, more to come as there were four males on one female yesterday plus other groups..

 

Despite the activity in the pond over the past few nights there is no spawn Strange because I normally have masses!

 

How do you tell if it's infertile???
