Big Bob is a Frog!

Big Bob grew front legs in about one day. I was watching pretty closely, because I wanted to get pictures of them as they grew. One day they weren't there, the next KABOOM! there. Then his tail only lasted about two days, then he was out of the water. He is living in the tank, the wet environment has harboured many small insects, and he's doin' fine. He's still a scaredy cat, so I think he will do well in the wild. He is tiny, he could sit on a penny. I will post some more pics later.


We got these tadpoles around June 2nd, they had been hatched at least one week, that's what we'll say (this is very scientific). Big Bob became a frog on about the 15th of July, that means that it took him about 7 weeks to complete the transformation from tadpole to frog.

WAY TO GO BIG BOB!

Big Bob has back legs

Big Bob the largest of our 4 tadpoles has developed back legs large enough to be clearly seen. He is clearly a couple legs ahead of the others.


All 4 of our tadpoles have now adjusted to their new setting. I will continue to post as news happens.
