Now armed and hopping into ACTION!

Ha! That title does sound a little dramatic, doesn't it? But it just may be that we'll be hopping into action quickly should any of our frogs decide to escape their little fish bowl.

One of our tadpoles has had us excitedly watching it. On the weekend we noticed that both front legs were growing.

Today ... what a surprise! That tail has been shrinking fast, and those back legs are getting so much stronger. I think it will have to go back to the creek tonight.

And it's such a tiny little thing. Here it is perched on Mariposa's finger tips.

The other two tadpoles are still at the back leg stage. They are larger than this little frog, too, so obviously a different variety. I'll show you how they turn out when they've developed a little more.
