Good luck - but should we have little froglets by now? Ours are
still tadpoles (some of them pretty big, but still definitely
tadpole stage).

Here in N. Yorkshire we have spotted a couple of tadpoles in our
pond
with newly formed legs .............. obviously not a record ;-)
There are four adults in the pond and loads of tadpoles. Can't
imagine
what it will be like even if only half of them survive! Anyone know
what the survival rate is?
Survival rate to maturity is very low - maybe 1%, but that's a
blessing, otherwise we would be chin deep in frogs.
