I think Newt and Nugget heard me talking to the taddies because they have both been making their presence known tonight

Aww, poor Newt and Nugget getting a bit jealous of your taddies. My guinea pig Snickers used to do the same whenever I was spending time with my fish.

This brings back many tadpole memories for me, we would go to Balmaha and get frogspawn. Then watch them develop into frogs. Me and a friend would make a home from a large tank, mud, plants, hidey wooden holes, a little pond, rocks etc.
We had a couple of frogs who both had only 3 legs and they lived till they were about 6 years old.

That is amazing Thin Lizzy! Did you keep the frogs then? I have a feeling ours may be toads as the tadpoles are so black - apparently frog tadpoles are more brown but we shall see!

Yes, we had about 4 between us and they grew big and cuddly. Majority of the tadpoles that turned into frogs were kept for a while, fed up and then released back at Balmaha. The food was put in and they had to catch it themselves, it really was a good watch.
You're right about frog tadpoles being more brown.
The mud aquarium they were kept in was massive.
Will you keep some of yours?

I do love to see tadpoles & it is amazing to watch them grow, I had to laugh at Newt & Nugget getting jealous lol!
I think yours will be toads if you got them from a river.

Ah I thought you might know Cypher. We will release them back where we found them when they become probably toads! On dry land next to the river.

Looking forward to seeing the little toadlets before you let them go
