I seem to have passed the peak for frogs in the ponds for another year. It is noticably quieter this week though they do not like frosty nights. It is supposed to get a little milder overnight so I'll see if many more appear.

Plenty of spawn visible. I think there has been some more deposited in the last 24 hours so they haven't quite finished yet. :nod:

I seems spawning has finished for another year. The amount deposited is up on last year so I will have thousands of little mouths to feed before long. :nod:

As the name suggests it is made for outdoor ponds. Some years they can't get enough but other years(like last year) they were not very interested. I don't know why but it may be down to the water temperature. :shrug:

Did look them up JS. looks like suet pellets. Some years ago i did read an item somewhere that a way to feed tadpoles in your pond is this. Cut a quarter inch square piece of beef and thread some cotton through it. Hang it on the side of the pond. Bring in at night.
