Well - half of my 4 wood frog tads have arms now. Amazing how that works - the hind legs develop gradually from buds, & the front legs just seem to pop out of a lump, fully formed, with tiny fingers & all. Plus I see them moving their arms as they swim, already! Wonderful little guys 
Anyway, I've not seen them clambering up onto surface stuff yet - they're still gill-breathing, it looks like. Sometimes it seems like they gulp/spit out a bubble or two at the surface. So I guess I want to know, how long til they're climbing onto land? Or, how much tail will they have yet when they go terrestrial? I guess what I really wanna know is, at what point should I switch 2 of them into the forest-floor vivarium with wide, shallow water dish, instead of their small 2.5 gallon with beaver-dam-looking sticks & log debris (from the native pond) for climbing onto?
Thanks!
