Our tadpoles are really growing up. Addy has pretty much dropped out of caring for them, but Michael wins the tadpole owner of the year award. He was on his way to a conference in Vegas and before he boards the plane, I get this message...
"The tadpoles appear to be fine. I put some extra rocks in there today in case any of them want to "emerge" while I'm away. If you think of it, they probably could use some lettuce in the next day or two. Their water is probably fine until I get back. "
Well, take a look at what I saw when I got home from work today...
I am so proud of the little guy, making his debut as a big kid out of the water! He still has a tail, but he appears to be quite content up on the rock. Now I'm starting to get a bit worried because they are all getting big and their current home is quite little. Pretty sure it is going to start getting cramped...I'm not sure the process for releasing them into the wild exactly, but if there is any weaning involved or something, might need to start coming up with a plan! Maybe we'll just take them back to live in the pond at Dad's house!!
