Ok well I had my ID these tads thread up before, and today I noticed one tadpole has emerged out of the water. Its suprising to me because hes one of the smallest ones in there. theres tads practically twice as big as him still with barely any hind legs. I got them all as eggs, all in the same little bunch, but is it possible i might have more then one kind of frog here? or do they just metamorphosis that differently? after looking at this guy closely, im leaning towards spring peeper. now that hes out of the water do i need to immediatly get him some wingless fruit flys or something? should i move him to a different tank? im now kind of lost. Ive noticed there is one more the same size as him who is also getting ready to walk on land.
ill get pics up soon.
oh, and would any type of frog be able to climb up the glass right away? cuz this guy did. does that narrow it down at all?
Congrats, if it's a chorus frog (spring peeper) the tads are much larger than the new morphs. As soon as they emerge they need to have fruit flies or pinheads to eat, and a constant supply of them. They can stay on land as soon as the tail is gone. They prefer a mostly terestrial habitat with a small pond or water feature. They will climb the glass almost immediately. Sounds like Pseudacris.crucifer to me but a pic will confirm.
I thinbk it is possible that you may have two (or more species).
