Gray Tree Frog - morphing questions

[Lynx]

John's care sheet is awesome and has helped me so much!Yes, tank quality turned out to be an issue when I tried that with the toads. I was amazed at amount of poop those guys put out! And it doesn't stop after metamorphosis either

How big is the tank that they're in now? You can try to make a "beach" area, like a stack of slate rock, and/or place some sticks in the water so they can climb out, but you still run the risk of drowning. It'll also decrease the water volume in the tank. I did do that for the first 3 that morphed, and didn't run into problems except for constant worrying.

Oops, forgot that you mentioned you had containers on hand. Okay, would said neighbor be willing to do partial water changes if you left a couple jugs of dechlorinated water on hand? Then there'd be no scooping involved...and they are hard to catch, hehe. And the water wouldn't be so yucky. On the plus side, they seem to stop eating after the front legs come, so less poop.

Did you find a way to cool them down?

right now, I have a medium or large "critter keeper" with two tadpoles in it and another sterilite container (it's about 2-3x bigger) with the remaining 4 tadpoles. I'm keeping the 4 tads with hind legs separate from the ones who haven't sprouted yet so that I can keep a closer eye on them. I've already noticed that 2 of the tadpoles with hind legs are now able to use them and they will crawl around the smooth rocks that I have in their tank.

I've got a couple of options for building them a "landing" zone -- I found a really flat/smooth rock and bought a floating island to test out. I'm also thinking that I may just go out and get one of those round "ramp" style aquariums and take a few of them with me! (my hubby thinks I'm nuts, btw) I've also got a real pothos and some fake plants that I can use as well.

When do they start jumping? I don't have lids on the tanks right now, but when they are resorbing their tails, will they start jumping?

Hi, this is my first post here, I have a problem with my grey tree frog tadpoles, i currently have about 50 tadpoles that I have had since august so its been like 4 months and there not morphing to froglets and i don't know what I am doing wrong, I have done this 3 times before and everything went fine but now these tadpoles look just like they did the day I caught them? The only thing I can think is different is that I saved these towards the end of the season when it was starting to cool? please help in any way you can, much appreciated - Eric
