Some frogs that live in higher altitudes or in colder places might take a whole winter to go through the tadpole stage...others may have unique development stages that vary from your "traditional" tadpole-in-the-water type life cycle: some of these are described later in this tour.

The length of frog development from egg to tadpole to frog usually takes between 6 to 12 weeks. But it is also temperature dependant, so during cold spells it may take a bit longer or even be suspended till the temperatures go up.

I just received my tadpole. Grow-a-Frogs should remain at the the same temperature during metamorphosis as during other stages.... around 72 degrees, or 'normal home temperature'. Please do NOT place a thermometer in the habitat and measure it 3 times a day (unless you are doing some kind of observation or experiment).

All organisms have ways of growing up and reproducing. The forms that an organism takes during this process are called stages of the life cycle. For example, here is a simple picture of the Eggs, tadpole, and adult frog are all stages in this cycle. Each complete trip through the life cycle is called a generation.

They go through different stages of development from egg to tadpole and finally, to the adult. This process is called metamorphosis. The egg and tadpole stages require water, while adults may be terrestrial or aquatic.

Over time, tadpoles start to absorb their tail and take on the appearance of an adult frog. Female frogs lay from 600 to 1,200 eggs in a jelly-type mass. If a tadpole survives, it takes approximately 12 to 16 After completing the book, have students draw the tadpole stages and write a sentence or two about each stage.
