But if your light green one is a uniform colour you might have a slender tree frog, there. They can be green to gold, and again change colour to match their surroundings. You probably wont be able to move your frogs as such. They will locate themselves where they want. If you are itching to get your pool up to scratch for Christmas you may have to catch the taddies as they will definitely die when you add chlorine. They are very sensitive to it. Establish your pond first and let the water sit for a week to give the chemicals time to dissipate before transferring the tadpoles. Good luck and happy frogging.

They look and sound like motorbike frogs. Three have stripes but one is light green. Are they all the same species? There are a lot of taddies so we can't put our pump on. We are thinking of setting up an actual frog pond on another part of our property (1 Ha). Any advice on when/how to shift them safely and how to look after them?
