The froglets with cleft pallet were unable to feed so they had to be euthanized. unfortunate but fair.

Some of those seem a lot browner.

Is there much colour variation?

I think they just look like that because they are further behind in the metamorphosis.
The browner ones seem to have longer tails.

I'm gonna be the really sad person who asks what kind of camera are you using for those photo's?

i love RETF by the way and one day will have some of my own what are you doing with the frogs once they are big enough are you selling them or keeping them?

when will they start to turn green like there parents?

I am using a samsung D60 with a macro attachment. I will be keeping a couple and then selling the rest. As they mature there colours will come through, around 6 weeks of age.

They seem to leave the water a green colour, darken as they absorb there tails then lighten up again. May be change in temperature, body structure i really dont know
