Tadpole Update

Update of Sir Mortimer...His tail is slowly disappearing (photo taken 6/25/09)
Toadstool tadpole is still a whole tadpole, no changes yet.

Sir Mortimer fully froggified...no more tail (6/28/09)


Kris had asked what we were keeping them in. We have made our own little stagnant pond habitat. It has been quite interesting to watch. Cheryl suggested putting a rock in for Sir M to sit upon, and as she is our frog whisperer, I did so, much to Sir Ms gladness. He's a bit skittish still and whenever I approach to get a picture of him on the rock he hops off. His little body is only about 1 1/2 inches long, so I will wait a bit before letting him go.

Wow that is amazing, I wish I had done that when I was a kid!

(( grinning )) one of these fine mornings, you are going to find a frog sitting on your kitchen table ...

I was going to suggest putting something solid in there for the frog to climb up on also - glad to read that Cheryl already mentioned it. Have you put any insects in there yet for it to eat?

P.S. Your white flower profile picture is really nice - I hadn't noticed it before now.

just got back in after a bug hunt in the yard. Found a baby cricket, spider, and some sort of fly; all to be given to Mortimer
