He actually climbed out about an hour after I posted. I was just worried because he stayed in the water for about 24 hours after he got his front legs. I tried raising some toad tadpoles a while back so my kids could watch them morph. They had plenty of land area, and I checked them frequently. All seven still managed to drown. So, I'm completely paranoid about it. Have to love those sticky feet, though. When he decided he was ready, he didn't even bother with the slope. Just scaled the wall like it was nothing. I've moved him into a smaller container now. Once his tail resorbs, I'll move him to a 10 gallon.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with so many frogs! I have gray free frogs already. Wanted more. Was not expecting this many. I have a 10 gallon ready for them. I also have a 55 gallon and a 30 gallon I'm not using at the moment. I'll have to get those set up sooner than I thought. I was planning to use those for the frogs after they'd grown up. Looks like I'll need it sooner. The main reason I asked about how many morphs per gallon was because I only have the 10 gallon ready. I know they won't all fit. Just trying to figure out how long I have to set up the others. At least they're not all changing at the same time. I still have 5-10 that haven't even started getting their back legs yet.
I plan to get fruit flies as soon as his tail is almost gone. I just don't want to mess with the cultures before I have to. The recipe I have for media is so stinky. I also have been breeding crickets for the frogs I already have. I get about 200 new hatchlings daily. More than I needed with my current frogs, but still cheaper than buying from the pet store. The cricket breeding was half the reason I decided I wanted more frogs. Crickets have gone up to $0.16 in my area WITH a rewards card. No thanks.![]()
