frogs again
After mentioning that i had frogspawn in one pond last week, I now notice
that there are a lot fewer frogs this year, looks as if there are a couple of dead frogs at the bottom of another one of my ponds, the male seems ok but the female , from what little i can see, appears top be very pale. Another died about three weeks ago in the same pond, it did not appear to have red leg disease. I hope that its only the cold weather that has delayed their arrival. regards Cineman |

Our toads have started to arrive but not in great numbers yet. I think the cold must have something to do with that. I've checked for spawn each day but haven't yet seen any. Are you sure your frogs haven't just been drowned? When you get one female covered by three or four males, I'm afraid the female often drowns, taking a male or two with her. ;-( -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |
