3-legged Gray Tree Frog tadpole?

[PooOnShu]

One of my soon-to-be froglets only has 2 back legs, and 1 front leg. All of the others sprouted them in pairs. I'm really not sure what would be best for this one. Would it have a good chance if I let it go with the rest, or should I keep it? It's #9 in this picture.

sometimes the front legs come out one at a time. Do you think that may be the case here? Otherwise, if it were me, I would consider keeping it. I don't think it would have much of a chance in the wild.

I guess it could be. The things grew so rapidly once those back legs started to spring out that it could be I missed something. This is actually my first time watching tadpoles develop (which is why I captured them) and will probably be the last, now that I've had the experience of it.

I'm keeping 4 of them already that I have in the house in a kritter keeper. I suppose there would be room for one more, once the 10 gal aquarium is free. I'm having an 18"d x 36"w x 36"h terrarium delivered tomorrow. I don't want to overcrowd them.

You need to get them into a tank that has land available. Once the 4th legs comes out of the "gill' area, they become air breathers.

I already know all that, and they do have "land" to climb out onto, and places to perch.

Well since you "already know all that" I'm not sure why you asked the original question.
