The last few months have been a flurry of activity. Our family moved twice this past summer, and after living in the same house for 18 years, it was no easy task. So while I haven't posted for many months, the frogs went through the move with us and then the remainder were released as little frogs.
The tadpoles had a very high survival rate, reaching 90%. Unfortunately, the salamanders as a group did not fare as well. Very early on newly hatched tadpoles ate almost all of the salamander eggs and newts. About a dozen tiny, tiny salamanders hatched, with one surviving to adulthood. Beautifully frilled, he would hide under the rocks and dart out for food.
In the future I will try to seperate them as soon as possible.
