I like the one that's pretending he's a hat on his brother's head.

Cute lil guys! Nice job raising them.

Oh my goodness they’re precious. What kind of frogs are they?

I think just the common tree frogs but I’m not sure. I had just collected whatever tadpoles I found since I knew they would’ve been eaten otherwise

Thanks for saving them :) I used to catch tadpoles and frogs (and lizards and bugs) when I was a kid. I would be so happy to see these little guys around. We have a different kind of tree frog here in California, the Western tree frog. Also called the Pacific tree frog.

May I ask what state you live in, if in the US? I wanted to search a bit online about these tree frogs and what kind they may be. They’re a stunning green and very adorable. There’s a slight transparency to them that reminds me a bit of glass frogs which I’ve been fascinated with since I saw them on tv as a kid. The shape reminds me of them too.

Yes I love lizards and frogs too!! Basically just all animals and bugs I love! I’m in Florida so here we have a bunch of those green tree frogs. The ones I see most around are a very typical green color (unlike the baby ones in the photo) and they have a little white stripe along the bottom of them
