Tadpole Update #4 – Day 19
Our little baby toad tadpoles are still coming along just fine. Their growing rate seems to have slowed down now just a bit, but still going. They’ve definitely gotten a little longer and a little wider since my last photos.
Here is a quick camera video. The waterfall-like sound in the background is the torrential rain!:
My kids came in the other night begging for my camera to take a picture. They had went over to one of the areas close to where they originally found our tadpole eggs and this is what they saw (click on the image and hit full size):
Yes, there was hundreds maybe thousands of them!!! Toads anyone???
Now of course they also noticed lots of them washed up on the mud and dried out too, so we discussed that’s why they have to lay so many eggs, so many don’t make it. And as a funny side note, my dear daughter got herself stuck in about 2 feet of mud while she was over there, and Dad had to come rescue her!
