Since we're running low on animals to attend to and things to do around here, we thought we should pick up a few more! While visiting Tulip's a week or two ago, the girls saw their tadpoles and their interest and enthusiasm were rewarded with a bucket of our very own slimy, stinky, cannibalistic, messy blobs with tails. I initially thought it would be interesting to watch them change. Then I saw how much mess they produce. Ugh. disgusting little creatures! How something that small can have that much output, I have no idea. And how long do these suckers take to turn into frogs anyway???? We've had them since early June and the most excitement I've seen in that tank was when Murray was changing their water and squished one. He thought he might not have killed it so threw it into the tank where it was promptly devoured by its tankmates. IN FRONT OF THE GIRLS. Honey was traumatized. Wailing and screaming ensued. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO THEIR FRIEND?!?!??!? oh Daddy!!!! MAKE THEM STOP RIGHT NOW!!!! OH OH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! (rinse & repeat until your ears bleed). She wanted to put them back in the pond after that but the others didn't and by the next day she was over it. So they're still here, a little bigger and teeny tiny legs have developed in the back but if you weren't looking closely, you'd just think it was more of the stuff that's usually trailing out of their back ends....
