Covering frog spawn. (1 Viewer)

Hi,

As most will know the weatherman has forecast some very cold conditions for the coming week. I know many of you like myself have spawn and newly emerged tadpoles in your ponds, it would be a shame if the frost killed off these. This happened to me a few years ago and from tomorrow I will be covering the pond at the spawn end with some heavy duty plastic.

What do you think.

Hi Chris, my spawn is mostly hatched now but I was keeping a batch of tadoples in a bucket till they were big enough not to be eaten by the fish and I've put these back into the pond as I think they stand a better chance there than of being to frozen to death!
I think it's a great idea to cover some of the water with plastic, if the water freezes it will enable you to lift it and let some air in too.
