Phew! That was some great reading! I'm just about ready to try my OCLT after 2 1/2 weeks of turning my Tree Frog Nursery back into a human's pool. Little buggers beat me to it this and last year! Last year, I learned how to RAISE tree frog tadpoles. I didn't have the heart to just kill them so I bought a kiddie pool, fished out what I could, and raised them into tiny frogs. It was actually pretty fun. This year, I set up the kiddie pool as soon as I heard the males start singing. Yeah, too late. They managed to get UNDER my cover and shrink wrap! Long story short, the tadpoles are where I want them, the pool is almost there, and after reading your plight, fellow frogwoman, I will NEVER complain about mine again! You did GREAT!
