![]() Transfer tadpoles to the new pond right away.Never leave tadpoles in a car or in direct sunlight (just like your kids and the dog!).Put tadpoles in clean or new buckets or large plastic freezer bags as you would do for transporting aquarium fish from the pet shop.Tadpoles often hang around the edge of ponds, so target these areas and be quick with your net! Carefully running the net in the deeper areas of the pond can also work, but be careful to not damage submerged plants and don't fall in!.To capture tadpoles, use a large net (available from fish shops) to scoop them up carefully.No tadpoles to be transported from the Coastal Plain to the Hills or vice-versa as these areas have different species of frogs.Transport of tadpoles no more than 3 suburbs away on the Swan Coastal Plain and 2 suburbs away in the Hills.This is to minimise the risk of spreading diseases and also avoids transporting species outside their natural range where they won't be able to cope with the new environmental conditions. ![]() The #1 rule of the program is to not transport tadpoles very far from where their parents are from. ![]()
