| | | Hi from Mr Toad
I live in Sheffield and have had an established garden pond for at least 20 years that has a 'colony' of frogs and a couple of newts (as far as i can see, but they are a bit shy).
I would like to link up with someone who has some spare toad spawn so that I can introduce them to my pond. |

Hi Mr Toad and welcome to the site. There is a nasty fungal/viral disease going around at the moment it is advised not to transfer spawn. If you get the habitat right they may come of their own free will..  |

Hope thats not true.
When I started my pond, there were very few ponds in our area. I now have supplied either intensionally or of their own free will a number of garden ponds in the area.
How can I create a habitat to encourage toads to come as I have not seen any in the 26 years I've lived here?
Also I have seen Hedgehogs from time to time, but how can I encourage them to take refuge in my garden?
Thank you for your help. |

All I have done is put woodpiles around the garden. Grow shrubs and low vegetation around the fences. Left lots of the borders are untidy. Have compost bins and I tend to plant too close together and I don't use pesticides.. | | |
