froglets
Tiny juvenile amphibians
Froglets are young frogs that have recently completed metamorphosis—they've absorbed their tadpole tails and developed legs but haven't yet reached adult size.
The diminutive suffix captures their smallness: The pond's edge was alive with tiny froglets.
The term appears in both scientific and casual contexts.
