Raising Tadpoles (Day 134) - Visiting the Pet Store
Day 134
I finally had the opportunity to visit the reptile and amphibian specialty shop today to pick up some trout worms. The owner wasn't there today but his employee said he'd probably be quite receptive to taking the frogs since they always sell out so quickly. I left my number and will update when I get in touch with the owner some time in the next few days. And in keeping with tradition for any time I try to find the frogs a new home, after leaving the shop, an unexpected thunderstorm appeared. Though at least there were no tornadoes this time at least (such as on day 101).
There are currently around 3 near froglets in the tadpole tank that will likely be moved into the froglet section of the 20 gallon tank by half way through next week. There are also several other tadpoles who have already sprouted both their hindlimbs and forelimbs beyond the point of being limb stubs. Out of the remaining 13 tadpoles, we may see one small, final wave of froglets emerge before the last couple of tadpoles metamorphosize individually. I'm not sure how long it will take for the final tadpoles to transform, though I do expect the final remaining tadpole to be Strangelove given how stunted their early development was by the partial paralysis that they fortunately recovered from after a few months.
Current Totals:
13 - 10 gallon (Tadpole Tank)
30 - 20 gallon (Frog Tank) [6 froglet, 24 juvenile]
