 How Long?

Are tadpole has his backlegs popping out, how long do does it take for his frontlegs to come in?

I just want to be ready. I’m going to be buying the items for his (and his pals) new tank, but needed to know how much time I had.

Oh ok, well when they get there front legs and loose their tail (and after they eat the tail) Can I move them into another tank thats ready for them (half water half land setup)? Or will that stress them out to much?

I have a question: Can you just take the water down to a certain level without taking the frog out ....

I would say keep the same water.

Froggyperson : I will be going through the same thing when Oscar changes.

MamPam is the person that we need to talk to.

Also,someone should show a set-up tank : half land/ half water (photo).

When mine gets legs , it will jump on MamPam and Bite her for being mean " about his size" lol

I Love Mampam.....................

uhh........ ok........ thanks........
anyway........


when my tadpoles started getting their front legs, i moved them into another tank
with a brick and water, (temporalily cuz i was releasing 7/8 of my tads)

as for the one im keeping, when he was a "frogpole" (a frog with a tail), i put him in a frog setup of

half sand (sloping), half water

longways, so they have more room, on land and in the water


what hes currently in now (he burrows in the sand sometimes)

Do they get their front legs first?....Been told they get the back legs first.

That’s why i get confused about all of this .....one person says this and another says something different.

Who do you believe?

they get back legs first, then when those are about done growing they get the front ones. Depending on the size of the back legs you can get a general estimate of when the front ones will be coming in.

MamPam Thank You for responding

The photos helped me a BUNCH! I have something to go by. ( the photos)

Thank you for posting the information.

Oscar has quit bleeding from both sides and tail.

He runs 100 MPH in a 1 MPH tank. He could have run into something.

Thank you,

The lettuce dose not have protein.....

He is eating lettuce. Is it Ok for him too keep eating it?

I THINK IF YOU SEND A CHECK FOR $1,000,000,000.00 WE COULD FEED OSCAR (OSCARSARUOUS)

There you go again....If he is eating and growing....should I change his diet?

He would not eat tadpole bites...or Goldfish flakes..........How about a T-Bone steak? (Protein)

I put an algae discs in the tank. He is still eating his lettuce. So I am not going to let him worry me NO more...

Once he gets about 15-18 inches long ! I will get him another tank.
