Apologies if this isn't in the right section of the forum, but I wasn't sure where else to ask...
I found a huge pile of frogspawn in a corner of one of our fields. it's been a boggy pond all winter but has slowly been drying up. Now all the water's gone and all that was left was this frogspawn. Some of it has already dried up and is most likely dead, but a good amount of it still looked viable, so I collected as much of it as I could in buckets and mixed some water in to re-hydrate it.
So what's the best thing to do with it now?
We don't have a pond and there are no ponds I can think of nearby. We could dig a hole in another field and fill it with water, would that do? Or should I be looking for another wet boggy spot to plop it back into? Or maybe divide it up and put it in a few different places to give it a better chance of some of it surviving?
Hoping someone can help me with some advice here...
