hi people,was just wondering i have frogs in my pond but as of yet still no frogspawn...has anyone got spawn yet or is it still to cold......so far ive only seen 4/5 live frogs as many died in the severe snow we all had..not seen my newts either i think they have died.
Although we lost over 70 frogs we now have at least 20 males and they started spawning today. Pleased to say that the majority of the baby fish seem to have survived.
when you say spawning.....do you on top of each other [frogsex],,,[sorry but not sure].as i have seen my frogs ontop of each other for about a week,but nothing to show for there efforts.
What you are seeing is typical male behaviour, they will grab at anything, mostly other males. You have just got to wait for a female to arrive and voila, frog spawn!
oh thankyou,have just been out in my garden and the frog is still on top of each other i thought that it might of got stuck[lol],i reckon then that the female frogs have died in the severe weather,so i guess i will not get any frogspawn,my dad says its too late for frogspawn now? is that true...i had 3 newts last year but havent seen them at all this year.
still no frogspawn!!but plenty of i now know male frogs,there were lots on my lawn last night all hoping around.still no signs of my 3 newts.they must have died.
I decided to leave my pond filter running all winter, and glad I did as it kept half the pond free from ice. So I lost no fish at all and have seen 4 live frogs recently, no dead ones. We had a lot more frogs until about 5 years ago when a grass snake took up residence! But that's another story. Happy to report that this afternoon I saw frogspawn in the pond. I love newts and we have always had them in the garden. Not seen any this year yet, but ours seem to hibernate under the many rocks on the rockery, so I shall expect to see some in the pond later in the year.
