Both my neighbour and I have wildlife ponds in our gardens which in the spring are seething with frogs and their spawn. This year was no different and hundreds (if not thousands) of tadpoles hatched out. All was well for a couple of weeks and then suddenly they all disappeared. We do have newts in the ponds but it would take an army of them to eat so many tadpoles so quickly. We don't use any chemicals anywhere in the gardens and there are no fish. We are perplexed as to why so many tadpoles disappeared so suddenly. Has anyone any thoughts ? Are your tadpoles OK ?
