Speaking of adaptable species

Normally most of the tadpoles would be eaten away, by catching lots of tadpoles, the predators of the tadpoles will suffer from it.
When putting back froglets, chances are they will decimate the amount of bugs available and so on.
Seemingly small adjustments might just wreck an entire system.
Always think carefully about what you are doing when it comes to fiddling with the chain around you,
it's great when people show interest in herping, but do it with responsibility.
Yeah, I failed to mention that my frogs were native to that area.
The tadpoles I found were in a manmade pot in my garden (the water was drying up and they would have all died), so it wasn't like I was taking them from a pond or effecting the eco-system.
Once again, White's tree frogs ARE native to Australia, and there are thousands here in the summer time. Releasing a foreign frog into an area which is not suited for that particular species could end in disaster; but if it all checks out - no sweat.
