It's a good day to be green...

Just thought I'd give an update on our new little darlings... the tadpoles.

All 12 are still swimming along each day, growing by the minute!

I haven't taken any new photos of them lately - mainly because:
1) Tadpoles don't hold still for very long
2) It's just darn hard to focus in on them!

I've done a bit more research on our little critters. I've found out that they're about 5 weeks old. A few of our tadpoles are starting to get sprouts of their hind legs! I swear, they change each day.

They LOVE fish flakes, and that has become the food of choice -- forget the lettuce pieces.

We have one little guy that hangs out at the bottom quite a bit. For a while, I thought he was sickly, but he proved me wrong. He plays the part of Tiny Tim, but is quite the bully when it comes to feeding time! I was feeling sorry for him, but now I think he is capable of holding his own. However, he is a bit behind the others age-wise, and I may end up scooping him out to raise him in another bowl or something -- I don't want him to become a snack for one of the other tadpoles later!

This has really been an interesting venture. However, it has pretty much turned into MY summer science experiment instead of the boys'. Why I thought it would be different is beyond me. Who am I kidding... they have people to take care of their stuff (read: ME)!

We have back legs and growing front legs to look forward to in the next couple of weeks! We'll keep you posted!

Love,
Jenni
