Day 52 - Froglet


This guy must be an early developer! Many tadpoles with no sign of legs. Have introduced some platforms into tank - froglets don't have gills. Need to introduce meat into the diet plan too...

Day 5


Most of the frog-spawn has now developed a distinct tail. There are still a few late developers - it will be interesting to see if these do eventually start to grow.
