New Tadpoles

[badkelpie]

Thank you! I can't tell if they're happy. But I did learn that tadpoles are boring, lol. Can't wait until they're frogs. That first one looks like he's right about to pop out his front legs. His elbows poke out now and you can see the little legs through his skin.

I thought they'd be doing this faster so I bought some pinheads online to supplement the fruit fly cultures. They got lost in the mail for 3 extra days and I thought they were gonners. The finally came today and they're all alive! I'm afraid they're gonna grow up before they can get eaten. I ordered some small dubia, but they're not as small as newborn, and too big for the frogs for quite a while, so I put them on heat and decided to let them be a colony. If they really are cubans, I'll go broke trying to buy feeders any other way.

So close! You can see its little arms so close to popping out.

Front legs!

We've got a frog! He hopped out of the water yesterday morning, but vanished in the tank. I finally spotted him again tonight.

With those giant toe pads, reddish eyes and blue bones, I think I can be sure he's a cuban tree frog now. Next in line has little elbows poking out, but that's all, maybe another week? Several more have back legs.

Second one has front legs!

2 frogs now! One still has some tail. The light green one is the same one from the above pictures, I'm curious to see their colors develop.

They are darling! I just love newly morphed treefrogs.
