Tadpoles

We recently adopted some tadpoles. We started out with 6 of them. We lost one early on and lost another last night. We currently have 4 super tiny froglets. They transformed super fast, I think in about three weeks. The tadpoles in the stream we caught them from don't even have legs yet. Apparently we're really good at raising them. Except for when they die.

After we lost the last fella, we learned that these frogs aren't the swim in the water kind. It's been very fun trying to figure out what they need to stay alive. They eat algae off boiled lettuce and enjoy munching on bugs. We've all enjoyed raising them. The plan is to release them before we kill them. They'll be missed but maybe we'll stock up on tadpoles again!





Speaking of tadpoles, we have a couple of our own. I think they kinda look like frogs too .....
