  • The frogspawn I put into the tank last week hasn't developed as I was expecting, but all is not lost.

    Aww too bad. I went and checked my pond this morning and saw a few tadpoles swimming around. Its been pretty cold still though. Good job! Loving this years' watch!

      Even though this is the 5th year I've done this, I'm still learning how to do it right, and sometimes it does things I don't expect.

  • @bendowne001

    I'm no expert either but I would say that when you collect the frogspawn collect a gallon of pond water too. Each day change a 1/4 of the water for fresh pond water. Pond water has more in it than rain water or treated tap water.

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  3 місяці тому

      Honestly, that's a pretty good idea. One of the best sources of water is the original pond.

    put less water in or float the spawn. you can gently add more water as they turn into froglets. i think they suffocated from lack of oxygen

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  3 роки тому

      I actually think there may have been an issue with the water quality. I will be much more careful with my water in future to make sure it doesn't happen again.

      Thanks!
      As for Ark Zoo 2, I'm not sure what's going to happen with that. I'm planning out my thoughts for future videos, but I've not got anything definite sorted out yet. I have ideas, just need to work out the details.

    The frog spawn I found didn’t make it think it was lying in the grass to long before I found it they all turned white and mouldy looking , will just need to go to the pond and have a look 👀

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  5 років тому +1

      Ah, that's a shame. Hopefully you'll still get a nice population of tadpoles at the pond.

  • @Lilsbils689
    @Lilsbils689 Рік тому

    If you didn’t have a filter or oxygen system last year it could be the common denominator so it could be the reason for the failure because they’re technically fish at the early stages as u know

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  Рік тому

      I've never used a filter and this is the only time I've had spawn failure like this. If I remember correctly, I think I put it down to poor water quality. I think the chlorine treatment I did was not sufficient. Ever since this happened, I've been much more careful with my chlorine treatment and it's not happened since.

    Maybe you could add an air pump with an air stone for oxygenation in the water get a clamp if the bubbles are to rapid it will also give surface agitation for gas exchange too standing water goes stagnant faster 🙂

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  5 років тому +1

      I've never found I need one. The water at the moment (about 6 weeks after this video) is completely clear and I've only done one water change in that time.

    I have had frogspawn before and the usually die if they are shaded 24/7 the would require sunlight at least a little to survive

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  3 роки тому

      Yes, that is true. I've had issues with that too. The room I keep them in does get very sunny, so they should be okay. But that is something to keep in mind.

    Maybe you should have used water from the pond

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah, pond water is always a good source to use if possible. Unfortunately the logistics of carrying home 12 litres of pond water just wasn't possible. Also the pond water is filthy, you'd never see anything.

      Once they sink there's not much you can do to keep them floating. But I don't think it does them any harm anyway.

    They may have died because of the water might have been tap water

    • @GregsWildlife
      @GregsWildlife  4 роки тому +1

      It's possible. I'm trying to remember what I said about it in this video. I think I left it for a couple of days so it should have been alright. But I found out this year that the advice I'd always gone by of leaving tap water 24 hours isn't long enough. I'd now recommend at least 48 hours, or more to be safe.

      It may have been bad water quality. Although I thought I had left it long enough, but looking back it may have still had too much chlorine in it. I won't make that mistake again. (Although swamp water wouldn't help xD they would need pond water, or rain water).

      Let's close all the zoos and all the conservation projects around the world then and never have any interaction with wildlife and leave them to fend for themselves. Oh and let's also deprive millions of people of some joy in their lifes while caring for wildlife and helping to boost their declining numbers
