Tadpoles in the pool

My daughter has one of those blow up pools, and it has been filled up with water and sitting in the backyard for the past month now. I went outside to clean it today and found over 1,000 tadpoles. I've taken 6 out and bought them inside to watch them grow and see what frog they are. The rest are still outside in the pool.

Needless to say, my daughter is NOT happy that she can't swim in her pool now.

Of course she can still swim in the pool, just get her a shark cage to protect her from the tadpoles!

No idea wattso...but i have only seen green tree frogs around here, so i'm hoping it's them and not toads.

There should be some pics of toad tads on the web somewhere? I would think that the main difference between frog and toad tads would be size? Someone on here must have seen both and be able to advise you as to the visual differences in the Tads. Come on guys and gals, own up, who breeds cane toads????

It's probably just a naturally occuring intergrade between GTF's and cane toads.
