The #1 rule of the program is to not transport tadpoles very far from where their parents are from. 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

there is a link on this page that has ppl in different areas willing to donate tadpoles

If anyone around my area would like some tadpoles i may at times have some too
Only locals tho

Thats a pretty irresponsible attitude towards native species that are becoming more and more endangered.
This attitude of its ok to break or bend the rules as long as it suits me and stuff the consequences to anyone or anything is one of the problems of todays society and i would think a forum like this would take a more responsible attitude to this as IMO its simlar to allowing fish being dumped into creeks or rivers it all affects the native species.

Ok sorry end of rant off my soapbox now

[mattt]

that is THEIR opinion, is there any actual legalities? or more of a guideline?

I also have some motorbike tads if anyone interested locally

i'll be putting a large catty in the pond soon to clean them out.... they are in every one of my ponds and the little buggers eat the white cloud eggs....
be quick to grab some....
