HELP- tadpole with a missing front leg!!

[Tubby0512]

Do tadpoles grow there front legs together or one at a time? I have this one tadpole that is about to turn to a frog in a day or two but its missing a front leg. My other ones had both front legs when they turned but he/she is missing one. Should i be concerned for this little guy?

Hi,
They can pop the front legs on different days.
Sometimes you can see the fronts if you shine a little light on the tad through the container it's in.
Can you post a photo?

Take a peak
Day #50
This is a R imitator - ( thumbnail dart frog)



This little guys front's popped a day or so apart.
This photo shows the fronts through skin prior to popping.

Does it still have a full or nearly full sized tail?
