Lesley Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 It's very exciting isn't it? - and worth all the hard work! A diary?? - just wake me up when there are tadpoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I love watching frogspawn! You'll get nothing done now Phil. The little tadpoles start moving in a week or so and you'll be able to watch them flip flopping round inside the eggs then all of a sudden, the eggs will disintegrate and the little tadpoles will start swimming in the pond! So exciting! My frogs haven't started all that lovey dovey business yet but shouldn't be long now then hopefully we'll have another batch to watch. Congratulations!!

The Dogmother Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Rosie too Sarah Well done Phil, that reminds me of having a tank with frog spawn in the classroom at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 We used to go & collect it in jam jars from the local pond. I think thats illegal now isn't it? We would release the little froglets back.....such fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiglet Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 OOOh You are inventive Phil. I LOVE frogs & collect all sorts of ornaments & things with them on. Yes I know ...... sad or what. Don't care - still like them. The collection is in the bathroom - very suitable I think. Better to look at than shampoo bottles anyway!

Hellcat Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well about 4 or 5 years ago we had a frog who was scarlet red and he had silver eyes that were just like ball bearings. And then a couple of years ago I bought some of that lawn stuff to make your lawn bright green. In the advert there is a dancing frog singing a Monkees song and he has a toad and a hedgehog as backing singers. What WERE you smoking (and can I get some?)

Hellcat Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Also, because the "superstore generation" will not accept imperfections on their fruit and veg we have increased chemical usage and more expensive organic produce (becuase imperfect items have to be chucked)! Apparently theres no point washing the fruit and veg before you eat it nowadays because they use so much "Ooops, word censored!" on it you would have to saok it in bleach for 10 minutes first, just to remove the chemicals!
