I poured frogspawn (thanks lousmith) into my tub from a jar and it sank.


I was expecting it to float back to the surface, but it hasn't and I can't see it in the tub (the tub is black so a bit hard to see things in it).


Is it OK for it not to be at or near the surface? Do I need to put my hand in, locate it and pull it up?


:-$

I went away for the weekend and when I came back there was no sign of ANY of my frogspawn - it hasn't sunk to the bottom again, it has just completely disappeared.


It hasn't hatched - no sign of tadpoles.


I've just googled and apparently cats and some birds will eat it :-S


I had removed the netting over my tub - now I wish I hadn't.

Yes, might have been, but tail seemed very long.


Will be lovely to see the swifts swooping about again.


PGC, I was about to post the same thing about the coot/moorhen thing, it is the only way I can remember which is which!

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
