Looking forTadpoles

[digitalcb]

I know it is the wrong time of year but an elementary school teacher's aide called today looking for tadpoles to put in a classroom aquarium.

They are available on EBAY but rather get for free.

Never hurts to ask.

Thanks

You could have gotten all you wanted back in the spring, they are all bullfrogs now. Better buy those off Ebay.

There is a possibility that bullfrog tadpoles might still be available in some ponds as from what I remember bullfrog tadpoles stay tadpoles from when they hatch in the spring until the next fall when they change into a frog. The tadpoles that were hatched this spring should still be tadpoles. Just find a pond that has a lot of bullfrogs and you should be able to find some tadpoles in the pond. You might be able to use a 1/4 inch cast net to catch some or find some in vegetation.

There is an 18 acre ski lake across the road from me with lots of vegetation in the shallows. I thought it was too late in the year. I'll check it out.

Thanks

We have a little 2 acre pond that always has big tadpoles - at least it did a few weeks ago when the boys were "exploring", I am in the red bank area, just off of HWY 27, be glad to walk you down there and have the boys dip net up a bunch. PM me if you are interested
