How long...?

[Cristen]

If you put him in the microwave, it will only take a few minutes. Be careful though, if you don't do it right, your tadpole can explode and then you will be cleaning little bits of it out of your microwave. You will never want to cook a hot pocket in it ever again.

Forgive me I'm new but..... You can actually "nuke" a tadpole" - or are you joking?

One of my friends had a tadpole. We believe it was a bullfrog; it was huge. I netted it out of the comet goldfish tank at work. When she got it, it didn't have legs yet. I don't know exactly how long it took but seemed like weeks in a small tank with no heater before the legs developed. They were well developed while she was on a 2 week vacation, and following her advice, I moved it into a tank that was half land/half water, and within a couple days almost the entire tail was gone. It was fun to watch.

I'm not sure if what we did was right or best. But that's the story of her bullfrog.

I am having a heck of time keeping the water clean...I just did a water change last night and the water is super cloudy this morning. Starting to get a bit frustrated!!!

No you can't nuke them. Kurt is probably attempting to create genetic mutant bullfrogs.

I thought that seemed a little odd, but like I said, I wasnt sure. LOL

A mutant bullfrog... that might be a little terrifying

It was a joke. Whenever you see this "", that means I (or someone else) was making a joke.

I put another filter in the tank-hopefully the water will be better. Soon as I cleaned the tank, it started pooping..sigh, I just can't win.

Kurt likes to throw jokes into his posts quite a bit. On rare occasion, you'll spot a funny one.

Ever notice how many different types of animals poop right after you clean their cage? You would know if you worked at a pet store.

LOL... K gotcha, dont know everyone's humor yet, and I am a little on the gullible side

One thing about us frog lovers...we're kind of weird to begin with, so our sense of humour can be kind of warped, too. Some more than others . Just to warn you, it gets worse the older you get.

Tadpole poop is a new one for me. Even my fish used to wait for a bit after the tank was cleaned...this one goes when you look at it. Sigh. Guess I'll be doing cleanings every day for the next while.

Hi, i bought a bullfrog tadpole from a local nursery a couple of weeks ago. When i bought him, he already had his back legs (Part of the reason why i chose him because i read they can take around a year to fully develope). And about a week ago he popped his front legs out and is looking more and more like an actualy frog every day. I was wondering if anyone knows about how long it might take for him to fully abosrb his tail after getting his front legs? Thanks!

[Jace]

Wish I could help you! My tadpole, whom I have affectionately named Poe, is still in the legless stage. Sigh. It shouldn't take too long, though. Maybe a couple of weeks to a month would be my guess. I would love to see some pics of your newly morphed frog-what are u feeding it? What are you keeping it in? I know, questions, questions!

I currently keep him in a ten gallon tank with a plant and a rock thing to hide under and a platform with a ramp he can climb up on which gives him access to lower water levels and to dry land. It is a very simple set up that i plan on making larger and more realistic as he grows. I have been feeding him bloodworms but now that he has all his legs he starts to absorb his tail so he will eat little to nothing at all. I will gladly take pictures but i am not sure how to post them, as i just joined this forum today.
