I've been wanting to get some of those guys for a while, but all the research I've done so far says they don't tend to be found this far north coz they don't like the warmer climate up here (I'm in Hamilton). But there's still a chance that some Whistlers have found their way this far north. Will definitely keep you posted... maybe we can compare froggy stories along the way. lol!T'zignz Treasuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978559272419384181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552194676204211878.post-10737327028262834842011-02-21T01:36:11.966-08:002011-02-21T01:36:11.966-08:00Tezza, he may be a brown tree frog.

Let me know how he develops.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957064180073048213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552194676204211878.post-53013568622712318502011-02-20T21:16:52.157-08:002011-02-20T21:16:52.157-08:00Mandy, we've been wondering about that!

Lol! At the same time, I'd love to have all 3 of the introduced frog species as pets, so won't be too worried if he does turn out to be different. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. :o)<br /><br />TezzaT'zignz Treasuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978559272419384181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552194676204211878.post-6975161982977204002011-02-20T21:11:09.318-08:002011-02-20T21:11:09.318-08:00T'zignz - Sounds like your tadpoles have been ...T'zignz - Sounds like your tadpoles have been very successful.

I've been in love with frogs since I was a kid, and tried owning some pet ones several years back, but unfortunately we didn't have much luck and the two we had died. Last month, we found tadpoles again, and have decided to give it another try. One little taddie morphed and has been a froglet for several weeks now... he/she draws a lot of attention every time we have visitors. One of the other taddies has just popped out his 4th leg too, so he'll be joining his frog sibling in the frog tank later today, with the 3rd probably not far behind as he/she has the two back legs, with front legs not far from coming out by the looks of things. We lost one... he got skinnier and skinnier, then disappeared (guessing he got eaten by the others.. :o( ), and there's still one really tiny tadpole who is taking forever to grow and morph, so not sure what will happen there. <br />They're such fascinating creatures... and such beautiful colours (these guys of ours are green and gold bell frogs). Looking forward to seeing your frog "babies" grow up. :o)<br /><br />TezzaT'zignz Treasuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978559272419384181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552194676204211878.post-86441919983301410622011-02-20T00:30:03.715-08:002011-02-20T00:30:03.715-08:00Nice shots Mandy, I was hoping to see what you got...Nice shots Mandy, I was hoping to see what you got from when I saw you down there with that heron. <br />:)Josnoreply@blogger.com
