Ribbit!

Saturday we realized that our biggest tadpole had grown front legs overnight!  He also developed the ability to climb glass and plastic so we had to make sure the lid was on our container!  Nathan was so excited to see the tadpole grow up to be a frog!  He still had his tail on Saturday too!

We moved the 4 remaining tadpoles to a bigger container and put just the frog in the bug catcher because we learned that once they become frogs, they need to eat bugs, not just lettuce.  Then we went out bug hunting.  Fun.  We ended up feeding him a smashed tiny spider and some smashed fruit flies.  He hasn’t touched them yet.  See his tail?

Check out the difference in the two photos below.  They are taken about 30 hours apart!  Same little guy, same lighting.  As of today 9/5, he’s lost his almost all of his tail, formed a frog shaped body and turned green all in a day!  We’ve moved him into a bigger container with more rocks and will set him free soon. 

  

I suppose tomorrow we’ll have to name him.  :)
