| This all starts with my little girl who having seen tadpoles in my
| In-Laws pond fell in love with them. I have now installed (if that is
| the right term) a small pond 6' x 3' and 3'deep at one end leading to a
| pebble beach at the other. The pond was designed to accomodate
| tadpoles and of course the frogs that they grow into. The introduction
| of some goldfish spurred their development on nicely and young frogs
| have started to emerge from the pond. Here is the problem; said young
| frogs are being found every day dead just beyond the pebble beach on a
| paving stone approx 8" wide just before the grass begins, they are tiny
| and dried completely by the sun. I have no idea if this is normal and
| represents the attrition rate in young frogs or if there is something
| that I have inadvertantly created that is killing them. If anyone
| knows the answer or has any ideas I really would appreciate them before
| my little girl discovers what is happening.

| Thanks,
|
| Andy.
