[earthtiger]

Thanks all!

What is the SVL upon metamorphosis and leaving water?

the exact size I can't tell you yet. They still have little tails. I have roughly measured them and most have 22-23 mm SLV. Some even 25 mm, the smaller ones about 20 mm.

Yes, the brownish ones will turn green.

Hi,


yesterday evening I transferred them in the froglet rearing tank:




…and I offered them the first time some food, small crickets (Acheta domestics). This is the first which ate a cricket:




This morning:




all the best,
Martin

Wow, they already look like copies of adults with that alien looking stare !

[Lija]

Yay! They look awesome!

[earthtiger]

They are soooo cute, aren't they!?

[LilyPad]

They are so adorable!

[ColleenT]

gotta love baby frogs. too cute.

Beautiful! They seem to grow fast based off the month that I've had my babies. They have already doubled in size.

[earthtiger]

They can reproduce in the age of 10 month => they have to grow fast.

[earthtiger]

Hi,


it seems that they are fast growers. The larger ones have already 29 to 30 mm SVL. But most are still much smaller.







kind regards,

Moin,


some more photos:







Some have already remarkable grown:







With so many specimens, there are some which have a bit "unusual" markings. There are some with a relatively broad white band. Here is one of the extreme:







Or this one, where the white band is reaching till the eye:






kind regards,

That first photo with so many of them is cool ! Interesting those with wider white band; like the one in middle photo .
