I am sure that some will survive Tricia. What a shame they could wiggle right through. I bet it was the great escape, let's hope they stay out of the jaws of death.

As for the saga of the 32 frogs and 3 clumps of spawn mentioned earlier. I have news on that.
Hurrah !! I have found loads that was well hidden in my murky pond. After having this terribly murky pond for weeks I had put the UV back on and the filterbox pump, but to no avail. It still stayed just as murky so I decided that I would do a small water change and see if it helped at all. Because I have a large shallow end the water always draws out of there before it is empty enough in the deep end so I was trying to be careful, not wanting to leave the small clumps of spawn out of water for very long. I kept the water going into the pond at the same time as emptying hoping that it would keep the spawn okay. Of course something then took my attention and I forgot to look as quickly as I had wanted to. When I did go to look I was so surprized as the pond had emptied a lot of the shallow end and I found about 20 clumps of spawn right on the bottom onto some of the primrose willow stems and another area with another 5 splodges. These had not been at all visable at any time, and I suppose with my water being very murky I couldn't see down the 10 or so inches to where they had been laid. I am so pleased and can finally stop worrying about things happening to my frogs.
I am happy again.
