Posted: 30 Apr 2006 Topic: badly located frogspawn



recently laid frogspawn is small and i had a similer problem. I found a dried up ditch with frogspawn in it so i put it in my pond but it just disintegrated and seperated, i think it was the lack of nutriants in the water as in it absorbs goods though the egg

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 Topic: keeping newts?



I need some advise on rearing a uk newt larvae, i dont think he is a palmate newt and he is definatly not a great crested newt as in his size, so i think he is a smooth newt at round about 7 weeks (roughly) all i know is that he is old enough to eat daphinea and has two front arms.I am worried as in this is my first ever newt and i cant put him(or her) in my pond yet as in his size, but when its an adult he could go in and live peacefully

Posted: 01 May 2006 Topic: Fate of Frogs Spawn in Temporary Pools?



I also found a tempory ditch full to the brim with frogspawn and it started to drain repidly so i got it all up together and put some in my pond and some in a large tank.
The spawn in the pond was attacked by frost though the ones in the tank have grown large and have started to develop legs.

Posted: 01 May 2006 Topic: Cretinous BBC press item



I hate dogs, over a few years i`ve rescured 2 frogs with injuries consisting of exsploded lungs, brocken arms, raveged legs, and various gashes along the back . one had his hind legs snapped and small cuts, what happened next horryfied me, the skin deteriated and the bone came out, so i took him to the vets but all they did was give him to the wildlife trust and said they would ring me though they never did. the other one sadly died...
Also, i have spotted over seven killed frogs

Dan kane,

I dont think much of steves habit of diving upon reptiles
But i think austin steven is a bit of an idiot one epiMicke he almost acted like his life was almost tragikly taken when a non-venomous snake lashed out on him and he jumped out of a 1 and a half metre treeMorpheus38839.3643055556

Posted: 01 May 2006 Topic: Lizard Tracks ??



It looks like something small so my guess is a common lizard but also a beetle.
If it is a beetle then its underside would scrape the floor making that indencation

Posted: 01 May 2006 Topic: keeping newts?



The reason im looking to put newts in is that its perect for them but there is no other ponds around at all
also i have been putting small crustations in and other tiny invertabrates i cant put him in the pond as in the fish and tadpoles would eat him

Posted: 02 May 2006 Topic: Obvious conservation idea



I have noticed that all most people do is just fence up areas, to `protect` them when all it does is keeping them in one enclosure an not beeing allowed to exspand so why dont they just breed endangered spieces and release them in the wild?Morpheus38839.3697800926

Why cant they do both?
Make and protect areas and breed rare speceis?
I know its a waste of time breeding common species but not rare onesMorpheus38844.5288888889
