Tads and Frogs

So its been a while since I posted about the froglets.

Well Lily is HUGE, let me rephrase that - she's GIGANTIC, compared to what I expected. The girls have taken to calling her the piggy. With that said, Tad now called Lucy - but forever Tad in my book - is as big as Lily was when she arrived.

We put them together in the same tank for a bit, but poor Tad became quite skittish and freaks out when anyone comes near. Plus she didn't seem to be getting any of the food we put in the tank, so I separated her out so she could get as big as Lily and at least be able to hold her own in the food department.

So the girls are doing well. Caring for them is super easy. My girls feed them each morning and each night after dinner. I've been dealing with the water changes, though M will have to do it for a week in order to ear her Animals Try It.

All in all its been a good experience though M seems to address the worry of Lily or Tad dying soon... I told her whatever happens as long as we were good to her while she is with us we will have memories of her.

I truly think I might some day like to get another froggie - different kind this time (along with the doggie) but we'll need to do more research on their care and maintenance.
