He is a tadpole who is temporarily residing in our aquarium until he becomes a frog. We thought it would be a fun thing for Ben to get to watch. The guy we bought him from (for $1.49 at Valley View Farms if any of you locals have an aquarium* and want to go adopt one of Kermit's siblings) says his transformation should be complete by the end of the summer.
He's earning his keep by eating algae, which is more than I can say for the Plecostomus fish we bought to do that job who lived for approximately 8 hours before kicking the bucket.
I'll put all Kermit-related posts under one label so you can all follow along on his fish-to-frog progress. ;)
When he is officially a frog, we'll take him down to the marshy place that is in one of our neighborhood common areas... he'll find lots of friends there. :)
* if you don't have an aquarium, but still want to play along, there is some good "how to keep a tadpole" info here
