Re: Re-homing tadpoles??

Yes, .... but I think that in this particular case we're talking about someone moving a pond around a small site - is that correct j15.... ?

In which case there is no problem in taking spawn/tadpoles from the old pond to the new one - or keeping them in buckets until they can make their own decisions!

The problem is with taking potentialy infected animals and transferring the infection to a clean environment.
