S3, Ep. 12 - Metamorpho-This
February 7th, 2022
Welcome to the finale of Ask Deer Abby, Season Three! Abby and Hopper are thrilled to be offering advice (and puns) to some brand new animal friends.

Let’s hope that Abby can help ease this bullfrog’s anxiety while also teaching him about the amazing process of metamorphosis. Next up, it’s Lotti the Axolotl who, after hearing Abby’s talk with Jeremiah, is wondering why SHE doesn’t go through metamorphosis, despite being an amphibian.
