New pond and toadpoles

[Ellkebe]

Thanks for that Kayleigh. Things may be a bit dodgy as the pond is only about a foot and a half at its deepest. There is mud/stones/grit though and I could add more soil in the run up to autumn.

Is the problem low water temperature or are they ok so long as it doesn't actually freeze?

Thanks for the watercress tip btw - they're loving it!

Cheers

I think its the cold with the fish but freezing with other wildlife...I lost a goldfish in a barrel so put the other one in the large pond where it survived the winter then rehomed him.

Thanks Kayleigh - I'm in greater London so things rarely freeze up too much. If I keep a close eye on it - tennis ball etc!! - it might be ok.

Yes, but fish may die.
