elbowcrooker<p>Further to my recent post about frogspawn, I'm happy to report that it has all hatched out. Hundreds of juvenile tadpoles have wriggled free of the 'jelly' and can now be seen feeding on it. They have been joined by a pond snail which is also tucking into this nutritious substance. The red caterpillar-like things are catkins from the silver birch and poplar trees that overlook the pond.<br><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogs</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/tadpoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tadpoles</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/pond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pond</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/pondlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pondlife</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ponds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ponds</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/wildlifegardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlifegardening</span></a></p>
elbowcrooker<p>'Pond life' is sometimes used as an insult applied to particularly contemptible people but I feel that this is unfair to actual pond-dwelling creatures which, by contrast, are mostly harmless and frequently fascinating lifeforms.<br>Frogspawn is a case in point. You can see that our tiny garden pond is full of the stuff. Zoom in and you can tell that the embryos are starting to elongate towards the shape of a tadpole.<br><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/pond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pond</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/frogspawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogspawn</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/tadpoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tadpoles</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogs</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/pondlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pondlife</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/reptiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reptiles</span></a></p>

They have back legs but not frogs yet. New Years? This is the latest ever by 4-5 months. I have raised 150-200 tadpoles in an 18" bowl this year. Heaven help me if they all come home to mate. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Frogs</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a>. </p><p>We can make a difference. Frogs eat insects and are food for raccoons, birds, foxes etc. This tiny ecosystem has brought me so much fun. It all started about 7 years ago when my grand daughter and I rescued some <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/tadpoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tadpoles</span></a> from a disappearing drainage ditch.</p><p>Have no seen and recorded mating calls, mating, frog spawn, hatching, metamorphosis. It costs nothing more than a few gallons of water and some lettuce.</p>
Kelly Wheaton :warriors:🦫💧🐸 🌻🌹<p>I don't know who writes some of these expert articles. I just read "15-35 tadpoles per gallon of water" when raising tadpoles. My 18" bowl cannot hold over 2 gallons (probably less). Since February I have successfully raised hundreds into frogs at some times having 150-250 at a time. In the drainage ditch from which a rescued my original batch 7 years ago the water can be black with tadpoles. 35 is nonsense. Always let experience be your guide. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogs</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/tadpoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tadpoles</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a></p>
