The legs start sprouting at 6 - 9 weeks, and most look like tiny frogs at 12 weeks when the tail falls off.

It typically takes about 6-9 weeks for a tadpole to develop hind legs. The front legs usually appear a week or two later. These stages of metamorphosis vary depending on the species of frog and environmental conditions.

Sorry someone vandalized you. Tadpoles have no legs until they grow some and turn into a froglet or toadlet.

Amphibians usually have four legs, but caecilians are amphibians that have no legs. See the related link below.
