Toad Tadpole Update #5 – Day 29
For our tadpole update this time, we have a special host, Miss Gabby Rose!
We definitely do not have as many tadpoles as when we started, so I know some of them haven’t made it. Since moving them outside on our deck, we’ve not been watching them as closely, so I’m sure we’ve not noticed. But the ones that are still alive are flourishing quite well. We just changed the water (always using water from our creek), and they seem even more active since then. We also added a very large rock to the water just in case any of them start growing legs.
I’ve noticed lately, especially on the bigger ones, that their sides are bulging out a little more. All the sources that I’ve read from say they take a total of six to eight weeks to turn from tadpole to toad. We are just a little over four weeks.
