Today’s adventure in herbalism: honeysuckle tincture! The girls helped me collect and in a few weeks we will have a tincture stash to last the year. Honeysuckle tincture is anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial - perfect to have on hand for daily immune support through the winter. I encourage you to try making your own! 🫙🌼

It’s finally here! The update you’ve all been waiting for!

A few weeks ago we released our toads over a week as they matured. It was really wild to see them go from normal toadlets to toads - they would be the same until suddenly over the course of a few hours they would absorb their tale and be fully terrestrial. If they didn’t get out of the water immediately they started drowning! I had to save quite a few and keep a watchful eye. It was a stressful week 😅

Overall the experience was more work than I expected but totally worth it in the end! We learned a lot and the girls got to experience the full life cycle of an animal. It was an experiment we will repeat in the future with frog eggs and take note of differences between the frog and toad raising experience.

Happy (almost) summer everyone! Let’s get outside!

Tadpole update! You can see they are getting bigger! Many fell off and died in the last few days and I was getting worried. After chatting with some helpful people on Reddit we decided it wasn’t anything we did and just nature running its course.

Today some started swimming around a bit and learning how to use their tails to get around. It’s really fun to watch! The girls were enthralled. Tomorrow I hope to get video of some swimmers. Stay tuned!

Tadpoles migrated out of their egg casing overnight. They aren’t moving much but during this stage they are feeding on their “egg jelly”. Hoping for more activity tomorrow!
