| Baby Frogs Dying
Hi all, wonder if anyone can give me some advice please?
We've had loads of pleasure this year watching lots of tadpoles develop into tiny frogs and seeing may of them hopping in and out of the pond. We counted at least 20 baby frogs just last week, (plus about 20 tadpoles with legs & tail that still need to complete their develpoment) and they seemed to have been thriving in the pond. Today, however, when I went to check on them, there were 2 baby frogs dead and floating in the pond. Nothing has changed in the pond as far as we're aware and there are still a few tadpoles swimming around, but I can't see any actual frogs any more. The dead ones seem to have a blue/grey colour to them, but I don't know if this is normal once they die.
If anyone could help, I would be really grateful.
Regards,
Yvonne |
