OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE FOUND 10 ADULT FROGS, 2 JUVENILE, AND ONE NEWT DEAD IN AND AROUND MY PONDS. MY GARDEN CONSISTS OF A LARGE 3500 GALLON KOI POND WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE FILTRATION, THIS IS OXYGENATED VIA A 15FT STREAM WHICH IS ALSO PUMPED AND FILTERED, I ALSO HAVE A REASONABLE SIZED WILDLIFE POND INTO WHICH I TRANSFER ANY AMPHIBIANS WHEN THEY APPEAR IN THE KOI POND, FOR FEAR OF THEM BEING EATEN BY THE KOI! I HAVE NOT PUT ANY TREATMENT INTO EITHER POND IN RECENT MONTHS! I HAVE JUST OBSERVED SOMETHING VERY STRANGE INDEED, WHILST CUTTING MY GRASS AN ADULT FROG MADE AN APPEARANCE ONTO MY LAWN, AFTER FETCHING MY CAMERA AND TAKING SOME GREAT PHOTO'S OF THIS SUBJECT, SAT WITH HIS/HER MOUTH OPEN, IT HOPPED INTO THE STREAM, HERE IT SAT AGAIN WITH ITS MOUTH OPEN UNTIL I RETURNED APRROX 5 MINS LATER TO FIND IT DEAD! COULD THIS BE SOME SORT OF VIRUS BEING TRAMSMITED TO THE AMPHIBIOUS WILD LIFE IN MY GARDEN? INCIDENTALLY I HAVE NOT LOST ANY FISH ! HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED SOMETHING SIMILAR? THANKS PAUL

Is there anything I can do? regards Paul
