Tadpoles
Submitted by Browndog on Sun, 2013-09-15 14:27
Hi All, anybody know where I can find tadpoles near Ballajura? I tried the local lake which had loads of small fish (minnows or Gambusia I think) but no tadpoles. The young bloke was learning about them at school so I thought he would be interested to see them in the wild.
Thanks,
BD.

any fresh water stream or pond should have them if they haven't already grown legs and lost there tails

May be hard to find them
May be hard to find them around Ballajura ( live in Ballajura and haven't seen many myself) but if its a rainy night it is very easy to spot frogs getting around. I know a very good spot 15 min from Ballajura all u need is a torch you may even see some tadpoles but there are heaps of motorbike frogs.

Get with the times. That shit just aint cool anymore...it's all about the i-phones, i-pods, the Ben Ten's and the Beibers and other crap like that.

Yeah, might have to get a tadpole app instead lol. I'm hoping he gets too close to the edge, slips in the mud, comes home soaked with a cupful of taddy's and a huge smile. (The missus is gonna hate me, but he's gonna love it!)
Just got to find some locally, which is proving a bit challenging.

You won't believe it
but keeping tadpoles may need a licence http://frogs.org.au/arc/legal.html
