Just posting to update what's going on with my remaining GreenTF and the growing Gray TF tadpoles I have in my backyard, starting with the state of Boom.
Boom actually seems to be doing very well, seemingly even better without his tankmate. While I was unsure of his gender, Boom began calling about two days after Verde passed, and now he calls 2-3 times a day (As a matter of fact he just called while typing this message out, wooooo). This makes me think that while a 12 x 12 x 18 tank was ok for two Grays who are hardy frogs, it was a bit cramped for the skittish Greens, and perhaps Boom is happier in a single now.
Next, the Gray Tree Frog eggs have all developed into tadpoles, but I wasn't sure if the developing tadpoles I saw on the sides of the tank were in fact tadpoles or if they were just small insects or something. Turns out they were in fact tadpoles, because the pool was filled with overrun as of yesterday. They have all (or at least as many as we could rescue) been moved to a kiddie pool where they can develop freely, and now I just need to figure out how raise these little guys. For the simplicity of the process, I have decided I was going to allow the tadpoles to develop in the kiddie pool, and then when I find some froglets on the sides, I would take a couple and raise them in quarantine tanks. That's what I should do, right? Don't raise all the froglets in one pet carrier or anything like that, but raise them in pet carriers/quarantine tanks until they are ready for their new homes. If this is a bad idea however, I can switch to raising them from tadpoles.
