Bullfrog Leapord Frog
http://tennessee.gov/twra/tamp/frogs.html
| Female frogs release their eggs by the thousands in early spring in freshwater
pools and ponds where the males fertilize them. The eggs attach to plants in the water and within a couple of weeks the eggs hatch into tadpoles. This is the
time to collect your young frogs. A net and a bucket are all you’ll need. Fill
the bucket with the pond water and then net a few tadpoles. It’s not so easy
as it seems, but it is fun — so either wear boots or take off your shoes and
socks. Unless you’re planning to raise your tadpoles in an outdoor pond, a few
will be plenty. Although they are small, tadpoles are voracious eaters
(metamorphosis demands a good appetite) which means they release a great deal of
waste and ammonia which can quickly turn the tank poisonous.
