    Actually, I do have some updates on them. Sadly, I lost the first one that morphed. She, I think, died of either an impaction or was not fully developed correctly. Either way she only ate one tiny red runner and 4 days later she passed away. I noticed she was gaining weight but did not think anything of it since she was supposed to be growing. But she never passed the roach she ate and also stopped eating after the first feeding, even though I tried to get her to eat several times a day. It was very heart breaking to lose my newly morphed froglet. I have some pics of her and Chip before she died. I will post them to the thread soon. On a happier note. Chip is still doing good and growing strong. After what happened to Cookie, I am actually glad to see he is taking his time to grow up, I don't want him to suffer the same fate because he grew too quickly... I also have new babies, I am not sure what they are yet, but I think they are grey tree frog tads. I know for sure they are tree frogs, but have not confirmed identity for sure. I was only able to compare them to tadpoles on the Conservation web page. I am thinking that the biggest of my new babies and Chip may morph with in the same week. They both seem to be at about the same stage of development. I will post a pic of the biggest one here for everyone to see, but I also have a bunch of pics of Chip and Cookie in my albums if you are interested in looking at them. Thanks for asking about the babies, I am praying that the 4 I have now all grow up healthy and happy. At this point I just want them to take their time. I do everything they need to ensure they get the proper nutrition fro good growth. SO fingers crossed that they will ALL be ok? Enjoy the pic of the new babies, and if anyone has any suggestions about what they may be, I am open to ideas! Thanks!
