We're tadpole-sitting for Froggy, Swimmy and Splashy, the class tadpoles from Laszlo's school.
One of them has a couple of legs, the other two don't.
One of them seems to be dead, but Laszlo insists that they get like that when they are about to change into a frog. Hmmm. I looked online and I only see that they stop eating when they are changing because they absorb their tails and get their nutrition from that.
I'd love to just flush the dead one. If it's really dead.
Anyone know anything about tadpoles metamorphosing and playing dead????
ETA: burial at sea :-(
