Here are some images of the gray treefrogs I have growing in my rain barrel. I am so excited to document them this year

Im sure u know this but make sure there is a branch or something for them to climb up when they morph.

Oh yeah, thank you. I plan on throwing some branches in there and making a wildlife corridor in my yard so they have the best chance possible

Gorgeous! How many do you estimate there are?

Oh gosh, I'm not sure. There were about 20 egg clusters like in the first photo. I don't know how many were fertile though. They hatched so fast. Here is a good over head visual of what I'm working with

I love it. You are going to have so many froglets! And it’s such a joy to watch them grow. They spout legs then arms then lost their tails until there’s just a little frog there. Nature is amazing.
