Well let me see if I can explain why you are losing your frogs after tapping... first you need 2 open spot close together but not to close.. Put the pond in the first spot.. Tap like crazy... Go on keep tapping.. Then as fast as you can move the pod to the next spot.. After it settles.. The frog will not dis appear into nothing, but now you have to be fast and store the pond so the frog that you just tapped into your farm will stay. Because now they r coming for the pond.. But don't start tapping again.. Because they will disappear after you store the pond. I hope this helps.. And if by tapping the pond you don't get any frogs.. Try a diffence pond, they don't all work... I got one that works well.. And another that don't produce any frogs..
