But, almost every adult that comes to visit us ends up with their nose stuck to the aquarium and sharing their own frog and tadpole experiences. =) It's 2 weeks since we brought them home and I've posted photos of their first 2 weeks now. http://minafoton.blogspot.com/2009/05/grodornas-forsta-2-veckor-frogs-first-2.html Our kids are teenager so their interest is rather moderate, there are other things pulling them.

It’s 2 weeks since we brought them home and I’ve posted photos of their first 2 weeks now.

I think if more people realised just how close to home some of the endangered species are, and how easy it is to do something about it, they might act. I love the idea of saving eggs and releasing frogs, that sounds like great fun. I imagine kids would love it too, it's got to be a great way to teach them about nature. Any chance you'll post some photos sometime? You’re welcome!

Most people know of Siberian Tigers and the Giant Panda but few knows about the wildlife that's around them. This is the second year that we have a "frog project". We move frog eggs that has ended up on dry land into water again and take some of them home to watch them develop into frogs. People are allowed to temporarily move the eggs and the tadpoles but they have to put all (future) frogs back where the eggs and/or tadpoles were found since they are protected, and we are doing just that. I have about 100 tadpoles swimming around in an aquarium on my desk right now. =) People just don't understand that the frogs are just as important as the tigers and the pandas and it's a shame really since they are just as important. Thanks for the mention! =)
