    Default When will my ACF tads get their arms and legs?

    Hello!
    Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. But I have been so busy with my garden, canning and pickeling. And their is so much more to do still.
    Anyway... on to what I was asking. My ACF tads are taking forever to get their arms and legs. They are at the stage when they get their cat fish wiskers and they are around 1 and half inches to two inches long. I've lost track of what stage they are in...not sure.
    And does anyone know a web site that has photos of them past at this stage?
    Here are some photos and a video of my tads now.Name:  2011-07-24 23-39-33.002.jpg

    Check this website out, it has all the stages of Xenopus Xenopus laevis --- Raising and Caring for African Clawed Frogs. The average time for metamorphosis is about 49-56 days.

    well the first question would be before knowing when they well get arms and legs is what are you feeding them?
    i feed all my tads with spinach! yeah spinach. you boil the spinach for 5 minuets than blend it in a blender till you get a watery past.
    and every couple of hours give them a couple of drops..
    and they will be frog-lets in about three weeks by looking ant the stage of yours.

    under African Clawed Frogs, Xenopus Laevis there is a breeding guide with photos of each stage
