Froggy?

Well, we have been raising tadpoles since a few weeks before conference. Two of them have now become frogs! We have a little habitat we are keeping the little things in until we can take them somewhere we can set them free. They are only about and inch long, and bright green. We have named them In and Out, as one is very social, but the other likes to hide.
Here are some pictures taken when they were tadpoles-
The first picture is bucket of tadpoles one. The second picture and onward is busket of tadpoles two. This was the day we moved them. They were outgrowing bucket 1, so we got another bucket. When they got their legs, we didn't know they would scale the walls even when they still had their tales, and we lost two in the middle of the night. Thankfully, my brother put carboard over them and punched holes in it so they can breath.
Here is a picture of Out. I couldn't find In, as usual.And a picture of our newly discovered soon to be frog. (Trying to scale the walls of tank #1)
We are considering naming him Three, or if he is jumpy naming him, well, Jumpy. Simon and I are the ones naming them, no one else seems to hot about it. One problem is they aren't eating the frog food we put in. We need to let them go soon or they will probably die.
I know it isn't a sweet post, but it's cute. And Huck's pet is a frog, in the new version at least. It's name is Shoo-Fly.

I loved raising tadpoles.
Its so fun and never dull(well, when all they can do is swim can be a little dull)
My family has done it once, and it was a blast.
We learned all we could about frogs and we got this cool old jar.
It was funny though when they finally got all of their legs and suddenly they were everywhere!

Jar + no lid = frogs out-of-control

They are fun. Don't know what to feed them after the loose the tail. They don't seem to be as interested the tadpole food. I'm glad your naming them and not me.
Love Mom!

Our neighbors have a frog who lives in their shoe bin. It isn't afraid of humans at all! I got it to jump on my finger.

Reluctant Dragon-That sounds really neat. We are setting ours free in our yard. They are really cute!
