Topic: Iodine for tadpoles
I have a book written by a naturalist called gerald durrell, it has a small part about keeping tadpoles and experiments with them, one of the experiments is to add a few drops of iodine to the water tank or whatever you use to keep them in it apparently speeds up growth, is this true? Daniel S |

Topic: Giant Tadpole
Last May (2004) when I was at my nans house i was looking in her pond and found and caught about 25 huge tadpoles they were about 4 inches long.I think i caught most of them so why were they all so big not just 1 or 2 ? They were like the one in the picture but had smaller heads and a few had back legs. Daniel S |

Topic: Decrease in tadpoles
Every year since i was aboout 6 i have taken out some frogspawn from my nan's pond to watch it develop into froglets then i release it there used to be masses of tadpoles all swimming around but after we emptied the pond to make it bigger the amount of tadpoles has got lower and lower each year, why is this? there is a lot of goldfish in the pond and a lot of newts could it be this?
