Because I'm too lazy to check your previous 'leopard frog adventures', what have you been feeding the tadpoles? They should have been well legged up by now, and be almost little frogs.

I've been feeding them the little pellets that come with the kit. Not sure what's in them, no ingredients listed.
From what I've read it should take 12-16 weeks to morph, so it may still be a bit early yet to expect legs.300 gallon mega tank: build in progress

If you can get ahold of Spirulina flakes, Brhino, it'd be helpful in tad growth. You'd just have to remove any leftover food.

I've also been unsure how much too feed them, because broken-up food pellet is hard to distinguish from pooped-out food pellet. You think lack of nutrition has slowed their progress towards transformation?

Yes, that's what I think. Normally tads eat the bio fllm on solid surfaces, and that includes algae cells. I raised hundreds of tads from egg to little frog when I was young, and used sunken oak leaves and Spirulina flakes with them. The leaves developed the bio film, the flakes for the the micro-algae.
As to how much food per feeding, just enough they can finish in under 10 minutes.

12 weeks. I have started feeding the tadpoles a lot more. Still no legs, but they're definitely growing larger.
They've got a little thickening at the base of the tail that might be the start of legs or might not be. I know I've been saying that for weeks now. There's also sort of a rough whitish patch higher up. Don't know what that's about.
