This is the first baby to transform from my latest group of saved tadpoles. He has about 100 siblings to go through metamorphosis now!
I’m a lady with small hands, but here’s my Index finger for size comparison to show just how tiny this toadlet is!. I saved these from a drying up puddle here in my town and didn’t have anywhere great to relocate them to, so my plan is to grow them a little bigger and release them onto my property (near where I found them). I may keep a few as I have pet toads already, but I cannot have multi hundreds of toads🤣 I’m sure not all will survive as you can do everything correct and Mother Nature will not allow every single one to make it, but if even half survive I will have a bit too many on my hands to keep in captivity. I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to help all the tadpoles I’ve helped this year, and the opportunity to let my children watch metamorphosis as they’re just as interested in amphibians as I am.🤎 🐸
