Abstract:	1. 1.\|Critical thermal maxima (CTMax) and minima (CTMin) were measured to evalute thermal hardening in Rana catesbeiana. 2. 2.\|Tadpoles show heat hardening and CTMax acclimation, and both responses are influenced by developmental stage. 3. 3.\|The first evidence of cold hardening in vertebrates is reported here. 4. 4.\|Heat hardening significantly reduces cold tolerance, but there is otherwise no evidence of a cross-hardening effect.
