They go so fast

I cant believe its happened so quick. One minuite they are tadpoles, then they are growing legs and then…they are froglets. First there’s just one and then you spot another and another. Within 24 hours they are crawling up the side of the water barrel…just one, then two then three.

They will all be gone within a week or so. And I am always left with a strange sense of loss. Yes I KNOW they are only frogs but….

The curious thing has been the pace of development – the tank compared to the water barrel. The tank boys are still tadpoles. Dilemma. Transfer full formed frogs to tank or just see what happens?
