And the die-off begins. This poor little guy finally lost his tail, and then we found him floating belly up tonight.

Hi Frog Scientist, When your tadpoles get their back legs it's time to put a rock in the bowl and just enough water so they can climb out and breathe air. You will also need to feed them live insects once their tail is gone. How do I know this you might ask. It's because I've watched hundreds of tadpoles change to frogs with my kindergarteners for the last 12 years. It's part of our science curriculum. One final piece of advice. Release them as soon as possible. It's easier if they die in nature you won't have to flush them then. Mary B

Cousin Mary saves the day! The one named Lee better still be alive.
