    That is so awesome. I love that you are showing us the progress, it's so cool to watch them IN TIME as they progress. It's like we're right there watching them with you. I hope you can get a video! That would be awesome. Oh, I wouldn't want to leave the house and miss anything either. It's like you're waiting for a present, haha. This forum is the best, I have never found more information on frogs anywhere else- and everyone is so open and enthusiastic about their frogs. It's the perfect place. I love it. Haha, and I am so happy for you- I don't think I could raise froglets. At least not yet. Haha I'm only eighteen, so- haha: I don't know enough about frogs yet to breed them: but I'm learning something new every day- and it only makes me more addicted to them! Congrats, Ebony- and I seriously can't wait to watch them as they go from tadpole to froglet.

    Thanks for your kind words Kelsey. You know more about frogs than I did when I was 18 years old.

    Could not get the video sorry. The flip video was not clear enough. My partner took a good video but it would take 90min to down load it to Utube so that I could put in on here :-( Anyway here's another updated photo.

I just had a peak at the eggs that I left in the Whistlers enclosure outside and they are still round as the day they were laid. It's still Winter here. These eggs that im monitoring are inside and forming so fast because they are in a heated room.
    Hey Ebony on a completely unrelated note, are there any White's tree frog breeders in New Zealand, or can you buy them in petshops?

    Thanks

    Hhmm... In just about every White's tree frog caresheet it said they were introduced into NZ in the late 1800's and has been seen a few times in pet shops, right up until the early 80's. I guess things just don't last forever

    Yes, They were introduced but apparently they did not survive. Any that are in NZ were illegally bought into the country and most likely were destroyed..

    Another updated photo. I have put up a photo from the last three days. In the latest photo you can actually see the tail fin.

    I was in the garage dealing with my Locusts and noticed that my male whistlers call changed suddenly to well a rather quiet content shrill. I had a look in their enclosure and sure enough he was in amplex. It was dark so not such a great photo but you get the idea. You can also see the eggs that I didn't take out of the enclosure. They arnt nearly as advanced as the eggs in side.

    Actually think I might bring some more in from outside so I dont have too many at once. I will wait till these guys are a bit bigger then move them into a bigger tank first.

    So here's the final photo from egg to tadpole. Im going to do a tadpole to frog development next.

    When the tadpole hatches it sits on the bottom and every now and again has a burst of energy and swims around in circles. You can see yesterdays hatching's as they have a more rounded body.Yesterday's hatching's are swimming properly now. Ive just put a tiny bit of crushed up fish flakes to see if they are ready to eat.

    I hope you enjoyed
