It is important to know that as long as you haven\u2019t introduced additional frogs into your pond, there is no such thing as too much spawn. Unfortunately it\u2019s a tough life for a tadpole \u2013 they have a number of natural predators and are susceptible to various amphibian diseases. Because of this, female frogs lay thousands of egg each year and only a tiny fraction of them will survive to adulthood. Your pond may contain a big black mass of writhing tadpoles, but this is how it is meant to be. Just kick back and enjoy watching these amazing amphibians.<\/p>\n

HOW TO IDENTIFY FROGSPAWN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is easy to identify frogspawn as it is always laid in clumps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t move spawn or tadpoles into a different pond, as this can spread non-native plant species and amphibian diseases. Ponds that already contain spawn may not be able to support the increased population, and ponds that don\u2019t have any spawn are unlikely to be suitable for frogs \u2014 if they were suitable, the spawn would already be there. There are many reasons why a pond may not contain frogs, and one of the most common explanations is newts.<\/p>\n

HOW TO IDENTIFY TOADSPAWN<\/strong><\/p>\n
Unlike frogspawn, toadspawn coming in a string of spawn. When spawning does occur, female toads produce long strings of eggs, rather than the clusters of spawn laid by frogs.<\/p>\n

Newts and frogs are not mutually exclusive, but they do tend to have a bit of a boom-bust relationship. Newts eat tadpoles, so ponds with lots of newts tend to have fewer frogs. This isn\u2019t always going to be the case though. A decrease in frogs means a decrease in tadpoles and that can lead to fewer newts. Then, frog numbers will start to increase.<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t always happen, it may just be that your pond is more suitable for newts than frogs. This isn\u2019t a bad thing, newts are awesome too and their habitat is just as important as frog habitat.<\/p>\n
