Please contact them if you would be interested in helping.
I have acquired some tadpoles from a parent at school. They have been with us since toadspawn and have not yet changed. They were from a local garden pond and the parent is unable to take them back. They are toads not frogs and I am guessing common toads.
Please could you advise on how to release or if they could be released on the nature reserve.
Many thanks
Faye
Dear Faye,
Unfortunately it is not advisable to transfer tadpoles/frogs from one pond to another because it may transfer diseases and invasive plants. There is a lot more information on the ARC and Froglife websites.
