Frozen frogspawn

A few early frogs made the mistake of laying last week, I even encountered a few frozen adults, hope they try again later.

Only removed leaf net this morning, But my spawn got frozen in february frosts last year none survived this year I will keep some in a bucket in shed to ensure that some survives

Sorry to hear that Robin - yes, hopefully, though I'm pretty sure they will! It always surprises me how early they get down to buisness. ...

I tend to get too much Frogspawn every year so I do tend to have It here there and everywhere so they Mature at different stages, the one's I bring indoors are always the Elders. My Pond has managed to thaw completely today and the Fish we're swimming on the top of the Pond, I'm just hoping that they don't get caught out, lost one fish so far this year.

Frogspawn will die if frozen if there is going to be a harsh frost I remove it and keep it in the garage or shed until the weather improves and then return it to my pond, works well.
