🐸OPERATION TADPOLE 🐸

After noticing a group of toads hanging around the puddles leftover from all the storms last week, we had a feeling we would have to rescue tadpoles. And sure enough, as the rain water in the puddles dried up, the chains of toads eggs all hatched into tadpoles. We scooped and saved as many tadpoles as possible and transferred them to a pool to finish growing.

Toads are amphibians, which means they can live both in water and on land. Their life starts in water when a mother toad lays eggs that hatch into tadpoles. At first, tadpoles look more like tiny fish than toads. They have gills to breathe underwater, a long tail to swim, and no legs. Over a few weeks, they go through an amazing change called metamorphosis. First, they grow back legs, then front legs. Their tail gets shorter and shorter as their body absorbs it. At the same time, they develop lungs and lose their gills so they can breathe air. Finally, they hop out of the water as tiny toadlets, and soon they’re adult toads living mostly on land.

We will keep an eye on these tadpoles to give them the best possible chance of survival into adult toads! 😊🐸❤️

If you visit today, you may notice that a few of our animals recently got a haircut! Our Babydoll sheep and our two alpacas got sheared last night.

When you own sheep and alpacas, you have to shear them to keep them healthy and comfortable. Both of these kinds of animals grow thick wool or fleece all year that keeps them warm in winter. But then, by spring and summer it gets too hot. So if they don't get a haircut, they can overheat, get skin problems, or have dirt and bugs that get stuck in the fleece. Shearing removes the heavy coat so they stay cool and clean. Plus, the wool from sheep and the soft fleece from alpacas can be used to make clothes, blankets, and yarn. We will also be sending this wool off to be processed into yarn!

Enjoy these photos from the shearing process last night. A big thank you to Thomas Russell for the great job you do with our animals! 🐑🦙🧣❤️
