322 Tadpoles!!!!

So my dad went to deal with the winter pool cover. discovered there are tadpoles on them!!

so we saved as many as we could. first count we got 339. and then we recounted a couple of days after they started to get legs. turns out 17 died. so now we have 322 tadpoles. still no clue what we are goign to do with them when they are frogs. ((the pond by my house is being re-made kinda deal))

We also think we have more than 1 kind of frogs in there. :D haha

Make sure they have a land portion to come out of the water. Once they get front legs, and sometimes even back legs, they start breathing air and without land a lot of tadpoles drown.
You should also separate the ones with legs into separate tanks (tree frogs with tree frogs, leopards with leopards) and make sure you check out caresheets for each species so you know how to set up their tanks.

mac is a cuban tree frog.. and it looks like most of the taddies you have are, too.. look out, because they are incredibly hardy, and almost all will survuve into little tree frogs.. leopard tadpoles are quiet a bit larger than what you have there..i think.. if you live in florida, you cant release the cubans, they are an invasive species and are SUPPOSED to be killed on sight,, yea, thats not going to happen..lol thats how i ended up with 25 cuban tree frog-lets.
