Just watched this guy slowly climb the wall, stop at the top, look around, and leap out into the world

I was late to work today because the second I woke up I was out there doing toad care to make sure no one was drowning and everyone had platforms in pool 1 and 2 to get up on and forgot to eat or get ready until about ten minutes before I was supposed to leave the house

Pool 2 is literally crawling with fully legged up tadpoles now, I’ve been moving them to pool 3

There are tiny toads all around the puddle!! The puddle tadpoles have achieved toadlet status!!!

When the silt has settled and the heat outside has calmed down I’ll be taking photos

🚨🚨🚨 pool 1 has three with arms and legs, and I have set up pool 3 which has a gravel ramp and branches with leaves to make it easier for them to get through this last phase safely

I *think* I saw arms on one of the puddle tadpoles this morning when I went out to check on and feed everyone!! it swam away before I could be sure but it definitely had a different shape to its face, much more pointed than round

Pool 1 tadpoles are also way more chill about me being around and get excited in case I’m going to feed them, and the second I put food in the pool they’ve all activated. Pool 2 tadpoles got regularly fed and looked at when they were still puddle tadpoles but now that they’re in the pool they freak out when I come by and don’t immediately notice the food when I feed them

It’s deeply fascinating to see the culture difference between pool 1 and pool 2. Pool 1 tadpoles prefer to hang out on leaves and sticks I put in the water for them and pool 2 tadpoles mostly stay at the bottom, only coming up to nibble food. They’re at roughly the same stage of development, the only difference is that pool 1 was established almost a week before 2
