Pixie tadpoles

[pixiefrogman]

There hasn't been much change in size on these tadpoles since original post from what i can tell. 2 have turned a lighter green color and the other 2 are still very dark swampy green. no legs or anything. Any ideas? I had 1 die and another one come up missing like a ninja, i honestly don't know where he went but there is always a lid on it so... They havn't morphed in any way

From what I've heard, they take a long time to morph.

I guys, I know this post was in August but just wanted to give you guys some advise so that nobody else gets shafted like this in the future. Pyxis will breed during the wet season here in Southern Africa, that is from September to February. We have started noticing in recent years that your wet season has now changed from December to April. But what does this all mean? Bascially if you are being offered Pyxi tadpoles anything before November or after March you are being shafted.

Hope this helps in the future guys.

Depending on water temperature, they can take a couple of years to begin to morph. Raising the water temperature might speed things up, but could lead to other problems as bullfrogs are meant to go slow and steady.

Unless they come from the Frog Ranch.

If the pet store won't take them back, then I wouldn't release them until you're absolutely certain that they're native to your area.

What did they turn into? I've raised bullfrogs and tadpoles were brown with white but I've seen this green tadpole sold and never knew what it turned into. Could it be a color morph mabye blue bullfrog?
