Tadpole Development

I question the statement under Ecology and Behaviour that tadpoles "can take 8-12 months to develop". Based on personal experience with breeding tadpoles in a backyard pond, including monitoring and feeding on a daily basis, I can state that they develop their rear legs in around 2 months and turn into little frogs in around 3-4 months. Perhaps the fact that I feed them regularly speeds up their development. Maybe a more accurate statement would be that they can take from 3-12 months to develop, depending on food availability. (Can anyone with personal experience confirm that tadpoles that they have been closely monitoring have taken 12 months?) Pmolsen (talk) 23:51, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
