Hey guys - just a quick thing - I am going to keep the frogs until the weather has warmed up a bit because if you release them now there may not be the food for them to eat naturally.

Nature has a way of coinciding events and as froglets do not usually occur naturally at this time of year it is unlikely that there will be small flies and other insects for them to eat. Particularly with the weather that we have had! Froglets usually appear in the summer so you may not be doing them much of a favour releasing them now.

Just something to bear in mind.

I know... it is very cold at the moment, and I realise that the froglets my die if released. As I say, I am not sure whats happening with them, may be released, may be not.

But, I figure, if they are released, there are only 4/5 of them at the moment... so its not a massive loss to the frog population!

But, for the huge amount of entertainment and lessons it has brought the kids, I think it was worth it.

Im sure you all will, but release them back into the ponds they came from and not different ones, its one way that the chytrid fungus can be spread.

I am not having a go AshMashMash - just making the point. They could be saved if they are kept for another couple of months with only the cost of a £2 box of fruit flies. As you say though the decision is not yours.

Good luck with em.

Yeh, I know.

Update: I changed the tank to mainly land, with some deep water. Had soil and moss and things, and was nice and damp. Frogs came out, and where happy. Bought some fruitflies, and they ate them, and seemed quite good.

However, my mum decided to release them now, as the cycle is over... so we'll see if any are around later.
