What a softy. You need a new pond to save the tadpoles . @@FishShopMatt

I decided to make a wildlife pond last year. I was actually able to order a 300 litre solid freestanding pond online. It was delivered within days. The bloke delivering it wondered what on earth it was. I put pebbles on the bottom & ordered over hang baskets which allowed for shallow planting. I’ve got logs stacked up on one side to allow access for frogs etc. It was so easy to do & so satisfying. It is teaming with tadpoles this year. Every garden needs a water feature.

I‘d Watch an entire season of this

Keeping the water moving also helps keep the amount of mosquito larvae in the pond down. If it just sits stagnant it'll just be a mosquito breeding ground.

Johnny, the trick is to get the feeders out there in the backyard. If you have them they will come Canada has some cold winters as well. Sometimes down to mines 25. I start putting them out now end of March beginning of April you might not get them right away but they will come keep those feeders out there the magic recipe to get them to come is one cup sugar, 4 cups boiling, hot water Put them out in the backyard and they will come sometimes it takes a while. Good luck my friend.

I'm really tempted to buy the big one, add a heater, filter and tropical fish.

What a beautiful build! Lovely tadpole habitat. The idea of moving rocks across from a nearby pond is a great one, especially to make sure there's enough food, but just a note that people should please not go further than, say a couple of gardens to get these materials. Even in the UK we have serious issues with diseases like chytrid fungus affecting frog populations and it would be really easy to spread undesirable pathogens or invasive species this way.

Also for random interest, the bug at 19:52 is a rove beetle, probably Xantholinus sp., and just after that it looks like a 7-spot ladybird, which is one of our native species (rather than the invasive and super common harlequin ladybird). At 20:26 it's the green shield bug, Palomena prasina :)

Something similar happened to me a couple of years ago. Frogs eggs in a pot plant tray. Made an emergency pond from an old hard plastic kiddie pool plus rocks, wood and plants. Still going strong! The antler fern has taken over, and I still keep getting new batches of tadpoles. Only problem is the red bellied black snakes seem to be checking it out now.

Yeah! Tropical pond! Do it🎉
