P.S. ~~ do watch the ammonia levels in your
pond. Lots of frog spawning can cause an ammonia
spike. If your pond gets overwhelmed with toad eggs and the ammonia spikes
you'll want to get some of them out and raise elsewhere. Some
people in frog/toad country, especially in the SE keep a baby pool around for
that purpose.

Did you ever get results boiling lettuce? Some, whether inured in the
attack or by natural causes, were dead in the pool today. I did a
partial water change and added the recommended amount of declor. All
the tads that liked cheerios are gone, plus that isn't frog food.
Maybe i will go to the pet store and get something that floats for
them to eat. I have nothing in the house i can try. I took two bricks
with algea on them out of the pond and put them in the kiddie pool.
There is no scum that i can scrape up, so they have anacharis and
maybe the pool will grow algea soon.

I am feeling a bit guilty about not covering the pool and letting the
babies get eaten!
