New Tad Photo's, Not Bullfrogs...what are they???

Well, I guess Painted has won, I too now don't think these are Bullfrogs or Greenfrogs, they are very tiny, maybe Spring Peepers? I found this one with all legs formed already.Look how cute!!

Hmm i dont see coloring of a spring peeper. You think its would have it being that close to full grown. Though its gotta be a type of tree frog. It has the toes.

Ill find out when they get bigger as I won 50 of them ~.^

They are cute...I want some!!!

grey tree frog is my vote. they are cute little guys.

Painted, Where in Pa are you again? I have to see how to deliver them to you

What should I do with them when they are ready to leave "The Hatchery"? Do you think they can climb out by themselves? I put some paver's in there with a rock on top so if they wanted to they could get out of the water, but unless their toes are sticky, I don't think they will make it out of the tub.

Yep, I told ya! They look like gray treefrogs to me. I haven't seen any of mine with more than very tiny back legs but mine are just vanishing on their own, presumably at night. The little suction cup feet tell you that they are treefrogs. Since you have gray treefrogs there, it's a bit late for spring peepers, and, in my case, gray treefrogs are the only species to ever have laid eggs on our pool cover, my vote was for the gray treefrogs. They won't come in to their adult coloration (with more gray and little bumps) until they're older.

I have a bunch of photos of gray treefrogs. Here's an adult female that I found in the house covered in cat hair a year ago:

Yes, you were right Robyn, that's why you are the expert here. Where are you keeping your tadpoles? How long will it take for them to mature enough to leave the tub I have them in? Any new life is a miracle , but I'm kinda bummed that my frogs are not a species that will hang around the pond

Hey Rosie, I had a grey tree frog (Cope's) that'd call from near my pond all summer on humid or rainy nights. Granted, he wasn't actually in the pond but sat on branches on a tree near the pond. So all is not lost, some may stick around when they become mature enough to breed.

My gray treefrog tadpoles are in my new 30 gallon liner pond.

One of my little froglets hopped off the edge of the tub today, I put it up there because it was climbing up so I thought, what the heck lets see if it hops off & sure enough it did! I hope it makes it, as it still had a little bit of it's tail, but mostly I'm worried the bullfrogs will get them. I am calling them peepers, I don't know what they are I should have took a photo of it before it jumped off the edge. One of the little guys was very light green, not this one though, it was more dark in color.

I found another little froglet on the ground today, I almost stepped on it. I thought it was a leaf or a dead froglet, I put it back in the tub...if it really wants to leave it will. I put more water in the tub also so it would make it easier to hop out. Do you think they will survive this young on their own, or should I take them to the nearest tree? Oh by the way, they are now bright green, & their bodies look like a diamond, so does this make them green tree frogs? Are you sure they can't be Spring Peepers?

If they're bright green, they're not gray treefrogs. They could be green treefrogs if you have them there.

How far are the trees from where you have the tadpoles? They should find the trees on their own. The treefrogs lay so many eggs because so many won't make it. Life's a gamble.

Hi Robyn, I have a few trees nearby, a locust tree & a wild cherry tree about 10 feet from the Froglets, but the tub they are in is directly under a Lilac bush, would they go in there? There are huge azalea's about 5 ft. away from them, The wild cherry tree is where I heard the Spring Peeper a while ago, that is why I thought they were Spring Peepers, not tree Frogs, but they could be Green Tree Frogs I guess as according to PA Herps, they have been documented here. I am more worried about my Bull Frogs getting them, that's why I don't want to put them in the ponds. Should I let them go on their own, or try & help them to the tree's when I think they want to go?

They will go for any cover. I doubt they would know a lilac from a maple. Tonight, I saw a very small toad in the yard. Yet, I've not seen any toad eggs in years. Perhaps some snuck under my radar!
