The tadpoles emerge!

There was huge excitement in the house today as some of the tadpoles begin to emerge.

Here is one at the bottom of the new tank. He did not swim around immediately as we would have thought, making us think that he is not doing well with the fresh water we put in his tank (even though it is treated to remove all the chemicals). Tomorrow we will go and get water from the pond and see if they will do better in that water (as well as get some more eggs, just in case these one's die because of the new water).

Oh dear I do hope that he survives, maybe the water is too clean for them. Let us know what happens. It will be great to see them get their limbs and change into frogs.
