It's not even recommended to shift it from one private location to
another - for fear of spreading froggy disease (red leg disease, etc)
from one area to another. Of course one could argue that moving some
from next door's pond can't do much harm. But the question to be asked
is, why didn't the frogs choose your pond in the first place?
Maybe the water chemistry isn't to their liking. Maybe there is a lack
of food. Get the pond right and they will find you.
If the pond is not right, then dragging spawn in by the bucketful is
no guarantee that it will be successful.
