Thanks for the advice. Clyde sprouted his front legs yesterday - there were 2 bumps in the morning and two cute little legs in the afternoon.

I lowered his water a little, to make sure he has plenty of rocks to access if he wants to climb out of the water. The most I've seen him do is cling to the plant, but that is under water.

Yeah, fruit flies are easy to cultivate -- every time my husband leaves a slice of orange or grapefruit out I get them and it takes me weeks to get rid of them. I guess I have a place for them to go!

Now that he has both legs, I guess I'm watching for the tail to absorb? When should I really drop the water level (it is swimmable now - about 1 1/2" deep)? Should I start cultivating the fruit flies for him now?

About returning him to his world, since he was found in the 'kiddie' pool in my yard, should he be let go in the woods next to my house?

Sorry for all the questions, but I really appreciate all the help - as does Clyde. He really is adorable. His body is turning a dark green with a light underbelly. I'm pretty sure batrachos is right and he is turning into a Gray Tree Frog.

Thanks again,
Frognut
