Some research into frogs in our state indicated that it is against the law to keep frogs in captivity without a license. It also turned out that releasing frogs into other local habitats was not a good idea either as it may introduce diseases and unbalances the DNA pool by releasing frogs that have reached adulthood with great assistance rather than having the fittest survive through natural means.
With help from my wonderful spouse we followed the advice from this pamphlet found at http://www.wrc.wa.gov.au/swanavon/pdf/pub_frogs.pdf and also advice from frogs.org.au/frogwatch/bitg.html
The advice is local so I would recommend you see if you can find local advice.
We let the water settle for three days before releasing the frogs and changelings into the pond.
They must have liked it because we saw them hanging around the pond on warm days from then on.
