This morning at about 9:30 i wake up, do my rounds with my pets (a turtle, a fish, and the tadpole of course) when i come across the tadpole fish bowl. I saw something near his head. I was ammased by what it was!!!!! My little tadpole(mabey not little any more) has a tiny little limb jutting out where a tube!!!!! (iam guessing it is the gills) had been!!! WOW the crazy thing is he had what looked like a blister on his other side. I got very excited. later i went to an amuesment park, I get home at 8:00 pm. the first thing i did was run to the tadpole fish bowl and another surprise!!!!!!! Where that "little blister"was there was a leg even smaller than the first front leg!!!!!!

Get ready to move him. Now if the time to make sure that he has a little land area to get out on. A 10 gallon tank set up 50 land 50 water would be perfect!

Congrats on your new baby froggie!!!

HE is a bullfrog tadpole.... UPDATE- we just movedmy tadpole to a ten gallon tank, put three gallons of water... I'll get a pic of him and the tank soon... He is starting to use his front legs to sit in the water...

P.S Special Thanks to Ellasmommie for saving me $25(I was going to go to the vet to check out his tail, but she said not to worry about it)

Hey not a problem at all. You'll see as his tail absorbs that he'll start looking normal again. One of my kink-tailed babies actually had lopsided hind legs until the tail was completely gone. How he's big and string and ready for his new home.
