    Default Need Verification on Tadpoles. (I believe they are Green Tree frogs.)

    I caught these bad boys in a water feature outside my house, it gets very hot in the summer (which it is now) and noticed a couple dead ones floating around so i've taken about 20 and started caring for them. There were about 50-100 i could see in the water feature itself which is more like a pot, and once they begin turning into froglets I'm afraid they won’t have anywhere to climb out of because it's pretty much vertical.
    Anyway. I need to know what kind of frog these guys are, I’m about 90% sure they are Litoria caerulea (Australian green tree frog/whites tree frog) but they could also either be Litoria bicolor (Northern dwarf tree frog) or Litoria fallax (Eastern dwarf tree frog) as we get a lot of these in our garden.
    I’m a little worried they could also be Bufo marinus (cane toads) as they are everywhere here as well, but I doubt it, due to the fact that the water feature is raised off the ground by about a meter and I’m pretty confident cane toads don’t climb.
    Sorry for the terrible quality images guys... Any help would be appreciated.


    Theres the water feature I found them in, (there is still roughly around 100 swimming around in there.)







    Theres one hangin a dump lol

    They are about 15-25 mm, Im guessing around a week old?
    I found them when they were at about 8-10 mm (5days ago). Are they Litoria caerulea??

    They're not Rhinella marinus, that much I can tell you. Only Litoria caerulea is available to me of the species you mentioned, but I have never bred them, so I have no clue as to what their tadpoles look like.

    Allright, thanks Kurt.
    I've been reading the White's care sheet as well, which has given me a lot of valuable info on the critters, you’re the man.
