Me and Himself went down the plot the other day and we were both gutted to find about ten dead frogs floating in our small wildlife pond. Not so much wildlife as wilddead
I knew when we put it in that it was probably too shallow for them to hibernate in but I naively thought they would have the sense to know that too. They were young frogs from last years spawn - quite small but I couldn't believe they had survived all the potential hazards of the summer only to be frozen/suffocated to death while in the midst of their winter long nap.
Has anyone any ideas - short of filling it in - for how I can prevent this happening again. I reckon it's about a foot deep, maybe a bit more, one of those rigid pre-moulded things. The smallest you can get.
