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.
