 When do they develop their lungs?

My 6 tadpoles are developing back legs. I guess they are about 5 weeks old. When should I start leaving rocks or a place to perch to breathe air? I have 6 tadpoles in a fairly small tank, they are all developing at different rates, some do NOT have legs yet, some do. I’m afraid they will sufffocate if I don’t know when their lungs develop. Thank you!

usually it’s a good idea to provide land when they start getting back legs. When they get front legs, you also might want to separate them from the other tadpoles (you’ll have to move them anyway if it’s a small tank).
