  • Gardeners warned not so swap frogspawnEMBARGOED TO 0001 FRIDAY MARCH 7 Undated Froglife handout photo of a close up of some frogspawn. Wildlife-lovers may not think twice about handing over "excess" frogspawn from their urban ponds to other gardeners to give frogs a new home. But today conservationists urged home-owners not to indulge in "spawn-swapping" this spring because of the harmful diseases and invasive plants that can hitch a ride with the eggs.

Froglife said instead of moving frogspawn around artificially, gardeners should make their gardens attractive and accessible to frogs to encourage natural movement of amphibians and other animals.
