Test Tube 🌘 @testingtoodles.bsky.social · Aug 15

Another thing I've been thinking about lately is flies. This could apply to any other decomposer, really, but there's something beautiful about it- they live off of death, and are a very good prey themselves. It's like a forest fire, it's like us.

Caught myself staring at the moon on the way from the lab to my room. She's very beautiful and full. I need to dedicate more time to astronomy again... Does anyone else here care much for it? :o I'd still do so regardless, but I'm curious!

You'll have to help me tell them apart, once they're all together.

Haha, happy to help! My reasons are largely selfish

Oh, nice that it works out then. You'd be free to visit!

When they're small, sure, I can get it, but even into froghood? and the lid?

of course you didn't have a filter then

Test Tube 🌘 @testingtoodles.bsky.social · 5d

if the problem is air then it's way safer to just poke holes in the lid-- of course they would want to escape a JAR

I don't happen to have such a mechanism on hand, but it HAS to work. a simple fish tank filter would work.... you had a filter when you kept the tadpoles, right? they can detect the water

Maybe if I set up a container with running water? Frogs need to stay hydrated- they're amphibians after all! Though, my plan was just to look around. Both could work, I could set that up, and, while I'm searching, they'll have time to find it...
