Default Tadpoles not growing legs

Hi all

My mum has some tadpoles (courtesy of her next door neighbour) in a
large pyrex dish for my Daughter to see when we visit. Mum and Dad
feed them worms from the garden and occaisionally a little breadcrumbs,
they eat it before for the day is out and they seem to be doing very
well. They also have some of the green plant that goldfish and other
pond fish like to eat and love to eat it throughout the day.

Of the 20 or so that they have, about 5 or 6 have visible legs but you
can see the beginnings of many more legs on others growing.

Hope your tads flourish andgrow into healthy frogs. :-))))


I have helped rear tadpoles in an aquarium indoors, feeding them boiled
lettuce. They grew quickly, probably too quickly. I shall add your tips.
Thanks.

Stella
