Our little froggie wanna-be's!

We recently became owners of 16 amazingly cute tad poles. I have always been fascinated by these little critters and wanted to raise them. Not really sure if I bargained for 16...but here goes nothing!
It remains to be seen what we will do with the little guys once legs start to appear and we have to make their environment a bit more frog friendly. My biggest fear is that they will drown! Right now we are feeding them boiled lettuce that we chop down and they hang on it eating like nursing babies. Pretty funny to watch. The plan is to put them into a deeper tank of some sort once they are close to changing. The kids want to keep frogs but I really doubt I can keep up with feeding my own 6 kids plus 16 frogs!
I went online and grabbed this nature study unit in hopes of gleaning as much out of this as we can. I love Shining Dawn units!
