California Gardening: Who let the frogs out? - Part 2, 1 by SingingWolf

Bea, I should think that by using a stick to collect the eggs on you'd be able to move them. I've done that, and rescued tadpoles from a rock depression that water collects in. That's where the big bull frogs lay their eggs. The owners of the property right behind it keep an eye on it. The locals called it the Indian Bathtub. LOL! I'll try to get a photo of it for you soon. Anyway, keep them wet like you said during the transfer and they should do well. The boggy part of your pond should have both food and shelter for them.
We actually were given two babies. Skippy and Pebbles. We don't know what happened to Pebbles. She just disappeared one day. So did the Painted Turtle I bought. She might still be in there. Just too wary to let us see her, but I doubt it. Sending a photo of Skippy. He does tear up the lily pads some.
Sally, I don't know about pampered, but it sure is nice to only have to clean their "tank" once a year. LOL! We usually try to clean it all out in January or early Feb. before the amphibians start to lay their eggs, and most of the plants are dormant. Once they've laid their eggs you feel like a murderer cleaning out the sticks and junk that collects over the winter, that they attach their eggs to.
Go for it Beahive, and keep us posted!
