Mystery Rescue Ranids (ID Help)

[Rat The Unloved]

Long story short: I got four tadpoles that had been on sale as bait. The people had no idea what they were, I'm sure they're ranids, but they could be just about any kind. From what I'm told this particular bait shop orders from a minnow hatchery "somewhere".

Here is a photo of one of them.


They're growing quite well, and seem to be pretty happy in their six gallon tub. If they are non-native I will either build them an appropriate outdoor enclosure, or re-home them with a proper owner. If they are native, I'll probably still look into that.

Most like they are bullfrogs.

That's what we were thinking. They're all doing very well, and are all rather well-behaved. They're about 4" long. Two are almost identical, one is broader faced, and paler color. Another is narrower, and looks much more like a leopard frog.

These will probably get re-homed. They are very, very, cool little guys. Much easier to raise than I thought.
