My husband and I raised a bunch of tadpoles - here's a few pictures of them.

Ok, someone call National Geographic! Those pics are too neat for them to pass up.

Do you know what kind of frogs they are?

That's so cool! Great pics!
I was a big tadpole collector when I was a kid and then raised some when my daughter was young. Must have had an adverse affect on her....she is totally creeped out by all things froggy and toady. :rolleyes:
I successfully watched them grow into froggies and then released them back into the pond from whence they came.
Now yer making me want to do it again. :D Too bad it's too late in the year.

Actually... the spring peepers in the area did their major calling thing only a couple weeks back - definately not too late, at least here... hehe...

These particular tadpoles are Gray Treefrogs... which excites me, because if we end up hanging on to a few, I can show my husband the way that they change colors - it's pretty awesome...

I had to make the froglets their own little terrarium, as several actually drowned in the half and half one last night (Even though they have NO problem getting out of the water - apparently they aren't the smartest little things).

Here's a face shot of a little one hiding under a stick.

Yeah you're an AWESOME photographer! What kind of camera do you have? I also peeked at your "zoo". Once we have a little more space, I hope to grow ours to that size as well!
