Welcome back to Tadpole Tales!
Leg-a-less continues his metamorphosis into a frog. This week, his legs have grown longer and broken free from being encased in the transparent portion of his tail. He uses his new found legs and feet to push off from the bottom of the tank. His energy is returning as we see him constantly swimming. We added a rock in his tank that sits above the water line. That way, he'll be able to have a place to rest outside the water once he's primarily using his lungs to breathe.
