Graduation Day is here for many of our Spadefoots! They have now all entered the froglet stage.   I managed to get some photos of Hoss on Pinecone rock.  The plan is for Graduation Day to actually be a two-day event. Planning to release Hoss and the ones in the completely clear bin this afternoon and the other 5 tomorrow. They're really starting to look like miniature toads.  It's interesting how all of their tails become bent during the process of metabolizing their tails. 

Our Narrowmouth has decided to remain at the academy for now to engage in advanced studies.  So far, the combination of not cleaning his water out as often as I normally would with other tadpoles and feeding the fella algae wafers seems to be working, although it's too early to know for sure. I've decided to give him the name Hope, in hopes of breaking the Narrowmouth curse.
