Ya'll sitting comfy like,off we go then back to dec 2012,a hellish road trip some great times with fellow froggers and some new kids to care for,long awaited and scared as hell the journey starts:
Frogs CB by the Dendroworks team,old line no worries of non legit,homework done this time!! We grabbed 3 here are two just as they entered the viv still kids
this is Drake
and JT
Within two days of getting them to viv,the third frog,had a massive fit and Died,guys this is hard brought out all the I'm not good enough stuff should have waited longer stuff and I'd already walked away twice,hard times lads,this was within days of loosing my dad,much dispair here,But ya get ya head down yeah,and keep trying even though it feels like the world just dropped on ya bloody head.The guys at Dendroworks,just smiled head up mate,we'll sort that later,they did,froggers huh. thanks guys
I ain't going to dwell on the negatives though,the viv didn't have issues just life huh,wacking the curve balls at ya.
We forward to june/july,wow Drake is a boy cool and JT hell it's written on her side,can't be...but she is a lass,We have full blown coutship.
Back we go to a viv,built yonks before by a totally no nothing dreamer,and all of those pondered designs pan out,the rocks where RH live,totally fluked,the laying sites built in,work??? Pop a big brom up front dude,she'll bung tads in there and she does right under my nose+ Two happy froggers bewildered by their good fortune.
laying sites right...and they use them
Of course,nowt is straight forward,they make a complete hash of the first clutch,Stu is putting the eggs back after they scramble them and drag out of the can,not once but twice :roll:
But to much disbelief a tiny thing hatches,on my one day off. I keep checking will she carry,I leave the room for 1/2 hour come back tad gone,not on JT search floor,ahh well,we'll have another go later
Development starting
and tad just hatched
A while later I spot movement,yup right up front,it really can't be but is,she did carry she is feeding,we are breeding redhead histrionica...words fail.
JT(it really is written on her side) here she is all grown up being a clever mum lays two clutches ,she can time this perfectly,to withing a day repeatedly of when her tads morph. Is worrying me,she bangs out all these eggs.
Look guys I'm like you, who knows what a histo feeds a kid,well we do and it's amazing
So I have very early concerns,but let things go along,the first kid morphs good legs an all,course JT steps in and knocks the little guy off the bromas I watch helpless,but despite my fears some how he's ok
We pull all the kids no real problems so far.
Had a tad growing well at the front,so a story of just how much we could miss when we simply can't see what's going on,like my pums.
I noted the bromleaf starting to die,ahh it will be alright ol' tad will be out of there in no time....wrong a few days later while doing the rounds topping up,down it wasn't dumping tad on the floor,I scooped him up placed in can reattched to brom and waited,JT ignored him,so we stepped in and hand fed. Ya know I've done all the ethical debates,I know where I stand.I'm cool with what will follow. I'm not hiding anything,just wanted to get me head down and learn,plus naturally try and help the real new guys here ,in blighty. that little tad we raised to my complete disbelief.during that process we learnt things I've not seen anywhere else,but i'm getting ahead of my self.
here's bromleaf just about ready to morph
and here she is not so long ago I live those gloves and damn she's pretty
