Frogspawn help!

Despite having a perfectly good pond, a dippy frog has left a load of frogspawn in one of my seed trays (it is full of rain water!)
I have topped up the water daily with a little rainwater, and covered it with an upturned hanging basket so the birds cannot get to it.
But, what do I do when the tadpoles emerge? Can they survive it a seed tray, or should I put them into the pond - where I suspect they will get eaten by the dragonfly larvae!

Thanks

They do very well in open water butts.

The pond is favourite though, the dragonfly nymphs will only get a few.

Hi,
Tadpoles need algae to feed on - they thrive on the slimy stuff that grows on the pond sides, pebbles and plants.  I have to agree with Spottymint and 8doubles that they would be better in the pond.  Alternatively you could put the spawn in a larger container where you can leave the water in for the algae to grow (it grows really fast in sunlight as I'm sure you'll appreciate if you've got a pond!).
