    Default Itty bitty baby ACF

    The batch of tadpoles I had that were laid July 25th 2010 were kept at a temp of 80-82* (sometimes higher due to uncontrollably hot weather). These froglets morphed with by Mid September as rather large frogs...

    The batch of tadpoles I now have, laid November 2nd 2010 were kept at a temp of 76-78*F and have just started morphing since Friday...
    these froglets are a little under 1/2 the size that the first batch was...the diets and maintenance were the same ... could temperature really have that much of an influence? I know that every batch is unique as far as growth rate etc, but this seems to maybe point at an influential factor...

    Even now, exactly two months later - this batch of froglets is at multiple different stages of morphing - - I have 2 morphed reticulated albino froglets, a natural froglet just absorbing the last bit of tail, a reticulated albino tadpole with both back legs and arms with the slimming body that occurs closer to tail absorption, a reticulated albino tadpole just beginning to bud its back legs and a natural tadpole with no back legs yet. (back legs develop before front legs)


    here are pics of my itty bitty babies and a video of them next to a ruler measured in INCHES.

    They had just enjoyed their dinner of bloodworm broth with noodles (regular bloodworms lol) - - liquified bloodworms for the tadpoles and regular worms for the morphed frogs.

    Haha thanks - I am just smitten with these guys (can't you tell?)

    I hopefully will be breeding X.Borealis this spring (might be after my wedding, so maybe early summer if things are a bit too chaotic- I wouldnt want to go away and hand over the care of tadpoles to someone inexperienced!)
