I would also have thought it was simply a frisky male (let's be honest, they will try to mate fish, rocks, my hand etc etc) but the female is clearly heavily pregnant. I generally have a huge surfeit of males in spring (In my pond, she said, hastily) I have no idea what is going on and will continue to trawl the net for advice. |

Thank you - I confess that I had never heard of it before. I suppose London now qualifies as Torquay, in this strange new ecology. It hasn't even been an especially warm summer and it certainly wasn't a warm weekend! I will report further if I see spawn |

Topic: Mating Frogs 30th October
I've spent my whole life as a frog fan and have built ponds everywhere I have lived and always had frogs and spawn. So, I have a keen interest in their welfare and some knowledge of their habits and problems, but I'm an amateur. Today (30th October) I was gardening - I live in South London. I saw a movement under some plants and found these http://www.drfranni.co.uk/frogs.htm (Mating frogs) To be honest, I was a bit alarmed. Please could someone tell me that this is not unusual? I am also at a loss as to know what to do with the spawn - will it survive? if I bring it indoors, I will be left with a hundred little froglets in december and nowhere safe for them to go. All information and advice would be gratefully received |
