Honestly I didn't think I was that interested in frogs or tadpoles but I found these videos really informative and enjoyable dude. I can't wait for the next one.
Thanks dude! Now you know why my logo is a frog :-)
A couple years ago I rescued about 100 grey tree frog tadpoles from a little puddle of water that was about to be filled. I raised them and all lived! I then released them. They were so cool and cute. Frogs have always been my favorite and I actually just found a small male grey tree frog in my backyard pond calling. Great video btw!
Oh wow! That sounds amazing! That must have been a bit of a challenge raising 100 tadpoles!
Shredder - Gaming For Science It was, I had to check the tanks to make sure they were not dirty all the time and that the tadpoles were healthy. I had to have 2 tanks to make sure they had enough room too. It was an amazing experience though! But unfortunately some tadpoles were dead in the little puddle because the water was in the sun and was extremely hot.
Wow, well done!
Shredder - Gaming For Science Thx, and I can't wait to watch more of your videos! And speaking of grey tree frogs, I hear a bunch in my backyard! Always at the perfect time!😆
Shredder - Gaming For Science I feed my tadpoles fish food as it is full of protein they are doing great!
At my school in the back there’s like a big kind of puddle which has a bunch of tadpoles and we got to get some in the back our teacher let us but I didn’t catch any and I’m going back this weekend and getting one for my tank I cleaned and made it nice so the tadpole will have a nice life lol.
That's great! Looking after tadpoles is a lot of fun.
@@GregsWildlife true
I catch them in my local park after it rains in tadpole season, tons of fun!
What an amazing beard!
Lol. That's what you got from this video, huh?
yep.
PEERFECTION
How often would you need to feed them?
We always have a bunch of tadpoles in our irrigation ditch. Thought it'd be fun to raise a few up and then let them go as adults.
I usually feed them once per day. But use your judgement, if they eat all the food you give them very quickly, maybe give them a second feeding that day. On the other hand, because they will eat naturally growing algae or plants in your tank, it wont hurt them too much if you miss a day.
It is a lot of fun looking after tadpoles and watching them grow, best of luck!
If you have more questions don't be afraid to ask, and let me know how it goes :-)
If you put a little piece of food in and they all attack it like a ferocious pack of starving piranha's, you know they need food.
Just know that tadpoles (unlike fish) go to the bathroom constantly, so the less you raise in captivity, the longer the water will stay "good enough".
pond mud is also important. gives nutrients to plants and soft surface for tadpoles and frogs.. also has organismsthat tadpoles will eat - but i like what you said. spinach!! awesome thansk.. and also when older they become more carniverous, i didn't know about cooking spinach. great advice. I do have algae loaded plants.
I'm glad you found this of some use.
I have in the past put in some pond mud, mostly accidentally as it's been attached to the roots of plants that I've taken from the pond to put in the tank. But you do get the most amazing animals hitch a ride sometimes. Things like daphnia, damselfly larvae, water louse, all sorts. It can really bring a tank to life.
Thanks for your comment :-)
Thank you. Good advice I'm going to the pet store to get some tadpoles and use your advice and the pet store advice. I'll post a picture as they mature.
That sounds great :-)
Remember though, the advice I give in this video is for European Common frogs, I'm not familiar with other species, so if you get tadpoles of a different species make sure you do your research as some of the conditions they need might be different.
Thank you so much!!!! My frogs are having a blast thanks to your guide thx.
Thanks for watching! There's loads of tadpole and frog videos on the channel to help you, and if you ever have questions, please do ask :-)
Hi I have two wild uk common frogs that I kept during a storm they were jumping into my glass door so I’ve kept them what should I do?
As long as it's safe to do so, the best thing is just to put them back near to where you found them. If there's an area of long grass or vegetation where they can hide then put them there.
They don't make good pets, so it's best not to keep them too long. But it's great you rescued them from the storm!
I just found frog spawn in our pond so when they hatch into tadpoles I’m gonna take 1 or 2. I have a question: how much tadpoles should I take do you have to have 2 or can 1 stay good without another? Ps your videos are great! Very helpful ⭐️
If you only want one that's fine, they don't need to live together. The maximum you can have depends on the size of your tank - 1 or 2 per litre.
Just remember that the reason frogs lay hundreds of eggs is because tadpoles die fairly easily. If you only take one tadpole, there's no guarantee it will survive and you may be disappointed. That's why I always take around 30 or 40, there are always casualties, not all of them survive to be released.
Good luck looking after the tadpoles, let me know how it goes :-)
What food and water should I use for my frogs I got from a river I'm raising
Plz answer soon
Is it an adult frog? For water the best option would be to use the water from the river you got it from. Or collect some rainwater, or find some bottled water that does not have chlorine in it. What ever you do, don't use tap water unless it has been standing for at least 24 hours. As for food, It might depend on what species the frog is, but crickets, spiders, slugs, insects that live around where you found it would be fine. As long as the food is alive and small enough to fit in the frogs mouth.
But generally wild caught adult frogs don't make good pets and I would advise you to release it back where you found it.
For tadpoles or young frogletts, then all the information in this video should still be relevant to you.
Meal worms and very small crickets
I use to catch tree frog tadpoles to raise them until they grew up. And I ended up keeping one since the one i kept refuses to leave me i placed him on a tree and he would jump back on to my hand and refuse to go back to the wild.
Ha ha! That sounds amazing :-D
Thank you this helped a lot
Great! I'm glad it was useful.
Thank you. So helpful, me and my child will be doing this
Fantastic! I hope you have fun. If you ever have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
what you should really use is pond water so that when you release them they dont get shock
Yes, you're right. Using the pond water from the pond you take them from is the best option.
Wow you are very smart I’m going to get and Australian bullfrog and I’m going to try to get a boy and girl to breed so I can have tadpoles
THANKS 🙏!
Good luck with that, that sounds like fun!
Hi this was very helpful, I was just wondering whether there was any alternatives for the gravel.
Thanks.
I've always used gravel but I guess any aquarium substrate will work. You can probably get various sands or aquarium soils. Anything suitable for fish should be fine.
I suppose you don't necessarily need anything, but it looks nice and it gives the tadpoles something to dig around in and nibble on.
I found a tadpole in my garden four legs about 2-3inches long. What can I do for it . Thanks Heather
At that stage, it's best to just leave it where you found it, or maybe move it somewhere out of the way if there's a risk of it being trampled by family members.
If it's in your garden, then that's where it lives, your garden probably has a good ecosystem that supports frogs.
Frogs are great to have in the garden, they are natural pest control :-)
Hello. Thankyou for your video it was very informative. Our tank has gotten a little dirty. We're waiting a few days for the tap water to become safe, does it matter that the water is dirty and starting to go green?Will it harm the tadpoles?
I think green water should be okay. It's algae in the water that's making it go green and the tadpoles will probably happily eat it. But it can go a bit smelly after a while, so doing regular water changes is not a bad thing.
I can't remember how long I said to wait for the chlorine to disappear in this video, but I think I didn't recommend long enough, add a day or two to whatever I said here, just to be safe. I had some issues with tadpoles dying after a water change last year and I think it's because I didn't leave the water long enough.
Hi! Sorry I know it's a bit late but i have rescued some frog spawn from a puddle that was nearly dried up. I have them in a large jar with pond water in, when they turn into tadpoles I'm moving them into a large plastic tank. What will I need for them and how do I get the tap water ready for them?
I think I do answer these questions in this video, but just in case you missed it: All you need to get started is a tank, some gravel and some live plants.
To get the water ready for them, you can use pond water or rainwater. If you use tap water either leave the water for at least 2 or 3 days before putting the tadpoles in or use something like Tap Safe to get rid of the chlorine.
Feed the tadpoles every day with fresh spinach or similar until they get their back legs then start to feed them boiled fish or bloodworm or brine shrimp.
I've got loads of videos on the channel which go into more detail on how to look after the tadpoles, have a look at some of the 2019 or 2020 series.
And if you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask.
@@GregsWildlife Okay Thanks!
mines eat boiled lettuce leaves chopped to fright size for the wee guys mouth with no teeth they love crushed fish food pellets dirtys tank alot but the thing about them not able to find therte foods a myth i think mines find fish pellets crushed not a problem n bit ham n chicken at weekends as treat
Sounds good. I have never tried fish food, but I've heard it's good but can dirty the tank like you say.
YW FOR WATCHING
My tadpoles are getting bigger,if I look at them with a magnifying glass I can see there intentions on the bigger Tad's.I do have concerns if I manage to keep them alive to where there tails r gone ,what to feed them.its winter time here right now so I can't catch any small critters,I'm hoping small.crickets will be small enough for there little months.Ill keep u posted.thsnks for your help
I wish you the best of luck.
Remember there are probably lots of on-line pet food retailers that will specialise in something like crickets and you can order the really small sizes. I'd probably recommend 1st instar brown crickets as their first food if you can't find aphids out in the winter. They should quickly move on to 2nd instar crickets, which is what I feed them on most commonly.
But again, that's for European common frogs, yours may differ.
Really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
how often do you need to feed the froglets/tadpoles to stop them eating each other
I usually feed the tadpoles once every day, or sometimes every other day. Judge it based on how fast they eat the food. I usually make sure there's always some food available for them.
Found tadpoles in an abandoned pond today and I would like to keep and raise them any advice? I don’t really know too much... do they need a spot in their cage without water? Should I give them a light in their fish tank?
When the tadpoles get their front legs they will need to be able to leave the water easily, so either transfer them to another tank with a land area or set up your tank with a deep water part with a slope leading up to an area above water.
If you transfer them to another tank it will still need an area for them to go into water, or at least remain moist, they can dry up otherwise. But also remember that frogs can drown quite easily, so they must be able to get out of water easily.
They don't really need a light as long as you keep the tank somewhere where they get the normal day/night cycle. Tadpoles don't have eyelids so can't shield their eyes from bright light, so don't put them in direct sunlight.
Hi, where should I release frogs if the pond they were taken from no longer exists?
Also, it's September and the tadpoles haven't started to change yet, is it safe to release frogs over winter?
They're so tiny still... Very worried they won't survive!
Those are some really good (and tricky) questions.
If the pond doesn't exist, then the next best place would be a pond as near to the original as possible. If that's not possible, then you have no choice but to release them where ever you can find a suitable pond. It's not ideal, but if the choice is to release them into a non-ideal pond or them all dying, then what other option do you have?
As for the tadpoles not changing yet, that's a tough one, and not a problem I've ever had to deal with. Some tadpoles will naturally over-winter and continue their metamorphosis in the spring, so I guess there's no harm in you either keeping them as tadpoles for as long as you're happy to do so, or if you don't want to take on that responsibility, it's best just to release them as soon as you can so they can find a hibernation spot before it gets too cold.
Hope that helps.
Thanks. They didn't come out of a pond they were on my brothers pool cover I saved as many as I could but there's so many there still. Once he opens his pool they will all die. His daughter took in a couple as well.
Oh wow. It's such a shame that some frogs get confused and lay their eggs in places like that. Good on you for saving as many as you can!
I also saved as many as I could from my pool cover and now I have them in a rectangle bucket
How long does it take for tadpoles to die in tap water straight from the tap without leaving it
Um, well I've never tested it. Although recently I put some tadpoles in some fresh water which I don't think I left long enough and some of the tadpoles died by the next morning. I think I advise to leave the water 24 hours, but I'd update that to maybe 48 hours to be on the safe side.
I have 5 American bullfrog tadpoles that have back legs and eat lettuce. They are doing good,but is there a list of food I can use to change their diet sometimes? I tried fish food but it created tank scum
They are wild caught. Will they still eat when they metamorphosis into frogs?
My knowledge is only really about European Common frogs, but assuming it's roughly the same I have the following advice:
As they're getting their back legs they will be turning carnivorous. They will still eat lettuce but you'll want to add in some source of protein also. You can use fish food, but as you say, people have reported it make the water a bit dirty. I have always used either brine shrimp or blood worm which you should be able to get from fish food departments of pet shops. But I have found that getting a cheap bit of white fish from the supermarket is a cheaper option. Just freeze it and cut off pieces as you need it. Boil the fish for a short while just to soften it and the tadpoles will love it.
Once they have their front legs they may not eat as much for a few days while they absorb their tail, but when they emerge from the water they will feed on live food which is more of challenge to get as it needs to be small enough for them to fit into their mouths, however I imagine Bull frogs are much bigger than the ones I have so that might not be as difficult for you.
I hope that helps, any more questions don't be afraid to ask. :-)
@@GregsWildlife thx dude
yes frog watch!!!
love the detailed information
PS just realised that we have frog spawn in our pond
Awesome! So now you can frog watch while you watch Frog Watch, dawg.
lol
Two questions how do you make it so you can see the tadpoles clearly? And can you feed them plants and food from a pet store?
Do you mean keeping the water clean? I will change the water maybe once a week. I will remove about a third of the water and replace with clean, fresh water. That should be enough to keep it looking clean.
The tadpoles should nibble at shop bought plants in the beginning. They will eat the algae that grows on them, but I would always recommend feeding extra with spinach or lettuce. Once they have their legs and want to eat a bit more protein, I've heard you can feed them fish flakes, but I've never tried it.
I am in quarantine and can't reach a pet shop but these frogs need some saving in my garden thanks to a lot of cats in this area
Yeah, cats can be a problem.
When the tadpoles grow back legs how much should we reduce, the same as when they are full-grown frogs or will that be a different water level? Thanks Shredder!!
If you have the tank set up like I have here, so that the gravel is higher on one side, then you just need to lower the water enough so that there is an area for them to be able to get above water. They won't need to leave the water until they have their front legs also. You'll probably know when the time has come when you see them rest on plants or rocks and have their heads above the water level. When they start to get their front legs, just make sure there is an area where they can easily get out of the water and they should be fine :-)
Shredder - Gaming For Science thank you so much this video was really helpful. Thanks for the amazing detail!!
No problem! Glad you found it useful. If you are looking after tadpoles I'd love to see some pictures, you could tweet me @ShreddedScience if you like.
Shredder - Gaming For Science I don't have Twitter and I wish I could show them to you the only thing I have is snapchat and IMessage. But thanks for replying anyway
Shredder - Gaming For Science Also I didn't use gravel I used stones for the bottom, and then a potted plant with aphids( with a plastic pot so it is not dangerous) on for the place they can climb up to. At the moment I don't have any of them hatched tho...
Im rescuing tadpoles from the top of my pool and i have a lake nearby so should it be alright to let them go into that lake?
Plz answer as soon as possible.
Yes, if that's the nearest body of still water to you then that would be the best place for them.
I know that I say you shouldn't transfer tadpoles from one pond to another, in your case where it's from a pool that is not a natural habitat and won't be able to support them then it's fine to rescue them and put them in the lake.
As long as it's fresh water and doesn't have a strong current then they will be fine :-)
Hi I have a question, can I put a single tad pole in a 0.5 tank? I will get a bigger one, once it gets bigger, please answer I don’t want to put it in a tank too small
Yes, I think one tadpole will do fine in a tank that size. Make sure you keep an eye on the water and change it if it gets dirty. One tadpole shouldn't make much mess, but it would be easy to overfeed and uneaten food will make the water dirty. Make sure you remove uneaten food and do regular water changes and I'm sure it will do fine. :-)
Shredder - Gaming For Science Thank you, I have actually gotten a bigger tank today and I’m getting the tadpoles in a bit. :D
Do I absolutely need gravel or can I just put a leaf on top of the water and have them climb on then?
When the tadpoles get their front legs they need to be able to get out of the water easily. When they get to this stage they spend most of their time on land and not in the water. They can tire and drown quite easily if they don't have access to land. So just having a leaf they can climb on isn't going to be enough.
If you're not able to give them access to a land area, then it would be fine to release them back to their pond at this point. Although it is fun to watch them grow for a little while longer, so if you can try to give them an area out of water that they can get to.
I’ve raised me tadpoles since frog spawn sadly there was about 300 but I hadn’t noticed the fight I had them in with got very sick and killed nearly all them besides two they now have front legs and back legs still have there tails tho
That's a shame. But at least you still have two. Those tails will disappear pretty quickly and they'll need to get out of the water, it's a fun time, the little frogs are so adorable!
Is there a way to mute the background "music"? English is not my native language. The
.monotonic 'music also' interupts with the automatic (english) subtitles
I don't think so. You could try watching my older video: czcams.com/video/PbaJxAr2QUk/video.html
It covers the same topic and there is no background music on that video. It's a bit less focused as it's just a video of me sitting in front of my computer talking about tadpoles, but all the information is there.
Thank you for a prompt reply! Your voice is clear in the other video and I
can understand every word you say.
Great! Hopefully you found out what you needed to know. If you have any questions, please ask :-)
and is aquatic soil a good substrate??? awesome vid BTW
Thanks! Yes, aquatic soil will work well. I've not tried it myself, but it's designed for aquariums, so should work very well.
I should probably update this video, just to let you know I no longer do a 'half-and-half' set up. I now use a separate tank with no water in it for the frogs. I found that although the frogs were able to get out of the water, they were drowning too often. So now, once the tadpoles get their front legs, I take them out of the water and put them into a second tank.
Check out some of my more recent videos for more details on that.
Hello I'm in the UK why time of year are tadpoles about
They are around right now!
Frogs usually lay their spawn around March time, so if you look for them now, you should see tadpoles in the ponds.
HELLLLOOOO XD this is helping me to teach if I could get a frog THX TYSM
I'm glad you found the video useful :-)
Nice vid man
Thanks dude! :-)
Hi greg, i love your videos!
I have a question me and my daughter have some frog spawn that have hatched and now looks like they are eating the egg sack. Its so fascinating watching them daily.
Anyways, my question is what plants do you recommend to use? And where you get them from?
Im based in essex uk
Thankyou
Thank you!
To be honest, I don't think it matters too much what plants you use. As long as they are real, live plants. I always get my plants from the aquatic section of my local Pets at Home. If the plants are suitable for cold water fish, they'll be suitable for tadpoles.
Hope that helps, and good luck with your tadpoles!
@@GregsWildlife thankyou so much for your quick reply. Sorry if it was a bit of a dim question as just want to keep them alive.
I have honestly loved watching them grow.
@@hayleyearp It's not a dim question at all! I get that question a lot. There are so many options it can be a bit overwhelming about what plants to choose. But, as I said, I think as long as they are good for fish in an aquarium, they should be fine for tadpoles. I usually just pick out two or three small plants that look nice and so far that seems to do the trick!
Are they allowed to live in bottled spring water?
Yes, bottled water should be fine. Just check the label and make sure there's no added chemicals, not all bottled water is the same.
What if you just rescued tadpoles from drowning in a drained pond? They have nowhere to go and i don't want them to die off i love them now
Okay, so in this case you have no pond to return them to. Will the pond come back? Or is it permanently drained?
The thing to remember is that frogs don't live in ponds, only tadpoles, so when they get their front legs they leave the pond and live on land. If the area surrounding what used to be the pond is still suitable, you could probably still release them there. Do it on a damp day and release them into long grass or something similar. There's not much else you can do.
If the area is not suitable, like if the pond was drained because they're going to build over it or something, then you'll have to find another pond to release them near, hopefully one that is not too far away from the original one.
Hope that helps.
The pond was drained so that tbe farmer could have more cattle but frogs go back to their home pond to spawn and i found the tadpoles litteraly drowning in mud i can release them at another nearby pond but i am just worried if they won't spawn then and i'm also worried that the other ponds will be drained. But there isnt much i can do unless i build my own pond lol
Yeah, you should be good to release them in a nearby pond. I know what you mean, this year I've had real trouble making the Frog Watch videos as the pond I've used for the last few years was filled in too. I have trouble getting the time to get to another pond. I really want to put a pond in my own garden.
Nice!
Thanks!
Hi
What plants toOxygenate water
Most plants sold for aquariums will oxygenate the water. Look for plants like hornwort or elodea, but really anything is better than plastic plants.
Bullfrog tadpole.... Help me. It's huge and it constantly gets itself stuck under the rocks.
Wow, yeah Bullfrog tadpoles are huge. I have no experience looking after them unfortunately. See if you can rearrange your tank so the gaps between the rocks are either big enough for it to fit through or fill them with other rocks so it can't get in there.
I found that my tadpoles always tried to bury themselves in the gravel. They always looked like they were stuck, but they always got themselves out.
Shredder - Gaming For Science Thanks. I'll try that.
Cool stuff, shredder! Keep up the good work!
Hey Newtmanking! Long time no see, how's things?
Not too bad. It's neat seeing how you've continued to make content.
Thanks :-) I've come on a long way since the Minecraft days xD
Hiya where did you get your tank from
I got this tank from 'Pets at Home'. It's a fairly cheap kids fish tank.
Do you have to treat the water? Or just use plain tap water?
Tap water will kill tadpoles, so if you need to use it then you need to treat it. You can get stuff from pet shops that is used to treat water for goldfish.
You can also use distilled water, rain water, bottled water (check the label to make sure there's no chlorine) or you can use tap water if you leave it to stand for at least 24 hours.
Hope that helps :-)
How often should you clean out the tank?
I usually judge it by eye. If the water is starting to look green or cloudy then I'll do a water change. I've never needed to do a full clean, as in remove everything and completely clean the tank and everything in it, I've always found just doing maybe weekly water changes should be enough.
What kind of plants can I use for my tadpoles?
You could take some of the plants from the pond you got them from, or buy plants from your local pet store. Plants like elodea are good as they oxygenate the water well.
Very informative thank you!!
Thanks for watching :-)
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try and answer them.
Greg's Wildlife great! I was just wondering if a filter for the water is required or if just cleaning it and having some plants in is enough
I've never used a filter. I find that the tadpoles are pretty good at cleaning up after themselves. They do feed on algae so keep the tank reasonably clean. You can just do regular water changes and that should be good enough.
Tadpoles are poor swimmers so some filters may introduce a bit of a current to the water as it sucks it through, this can tire out the tadpoles and you may find it does more harm than good - depending on the type of filter.
Are the plants real or fake? I’m assuming real x
Yes, they are real plants. Real plants help to oxygenate the water :-)
Do you need to use live plants and where did you get those plants 😊
Live plants are better than plastic, because they not only look good, they provide oxygen for the water and also help to keep the water clean.
Check my channel at 12 pm today (in a little over an hour and a half) for a brand new video that will explain the tank set up in detail. I do it slightly different from this video.
The plants I got from my local pets at home. Any pet store with a fish section should have some.
@@GregsWildlife thank you
@@GregsWildlife do you mind recommending any nature reserves with tadpoles
@@rhys5343 Not exactly a nature reserve, but I do know that Sheringham Park has a wonderful little pond that has frogs, toads, and newts in it.
Winterton-on-Sea has a pond set aside for natterjack toads, but getting the timing right to see them could be tricky, I haven't managed it yet.
@@GregsWildlife thank you so much for your help
cool video
Thanks!
What kind of plants is that
I've lost the names of the plants I used in this video. But this year I used Lobelia Cardinalis, Bacopa caroliniana and Rotala rotundifolia. But honestly any aquarium plant will be good. I'd recommend something like hornwort, that's a good oxygenator and native to Europe, same as the tadpoles.
Great video
Thank you very much :-)
What is the recommended water temperature?
For this particular species - the European Common Frog - room temperature will do fine. I don't use any heating elements. Let's face it, they survive the English spring and summer, so they definitely don't need warm temperatures!
I think the warmer the temperatures you keep them at, the faster they will grow.
Imma put this in my compilation and will give you credit unless you don’t want me to.
Sure, that's fine.
How much do they need to be feeded a day?
I usually put in one spinach leaf per day, but if they eat it very quickly I may put in another one or if they don't eat it all up I'll remove any left over bits.
Thank you for the answer! By the way do you know any online stores where you can buy frogs?
I always get my frogs from ponds, I've never bought any, so I don't know about shops, sorry.
Can they eat blood worms?
Yes, I've often fed them bloodworm, especially once they've got their back legs.
what size tank isthat?
This is a 12-litre tank
What plants have you used sir
I don't exactly remember which plants I used in this video. I know I got them from my local pet store, from their fish department. In the past I know I have used Eleocharis and Limnophila sessiliflora. I think Hornwort is also a good one.
Go/good job gg/good game. Good job on the home for frogs/tadpoles GJ means good job
IK
where can u find tadpoles location in Ontario?
I don't know. I've never been to Ontario! But you find them in most undisturbed ponds. It also may depend on the species and seasonal weather. I only really know about the European Common Frog which is found all over Europe, UK and Ireland.
oh ok
because i really want tadpoles
I saw a frog by the creek or a toad but, dont k iw if its male ir female
Ty 😃
Can you use a fishbowl?
Yes, I should think so. Just be aware that the smaller opening on a fish bowl can reduce the amount of oxygen that gets to the water. But if you have good oxygenating plants and / or use a low power pump, you should be fine. As long as you have enough space for the tadpoles and some space for the frogs when the emerge. Remember, frogs will need a bit more space as they grow.
Do you have to have more than one?
More than one tadpole? No, you can have one if that's all you want. Just remember that a female frog can lay 1000 - 5000 eggs, the reason they do this that life is hard for a tadpole and many - almost all of them - will die. Hopefully, by keeping them in a controlled environment - your aquarium - you should minimise the risk, but there is always that possibility.
What size tank is that?
This tank, I believe, is a 12 liter tank.
We find lamb kidney very good tadpole food
That's interesting. I haven't tried that.
Are those real plants. If so do I need real plants
Yes, they are real plants. It's always best to have real plants if you can, they help to provide oxygen to the water.
Shredder, how many years have you been raising frogs for? Because you seem to know your stuff lol. :-)
CycoticPigeon This will be my 3rd year. If I'm going to do something, I want to do it right. So I did a lot of research when I first started!
;3 I have three Small forgs (Two are not yet Complete frogs they still have tails and legs) ;-;
Nice! Mine haven't started growing legs yet.
Shredder - Gaming For Science well at least you get to see them grow! Mine grew up sooo fast!
I do want a pet frog tho.
I did this is amazing but when the tadpoles grew I realised-
There fricken toads!b
Ha ha, yeah it can be tricky to tell them apart, but nothing wrong with toads! I'd like to find some toadpoles next year for something a little different.
what plant are thoese cant spell :l
I have tadpoles
That's great!
Could I have the spino
Yep, I'll put you down for the spino.
Thanks for letting me know that they eat blood worms
No problem, thanks for watching.
Dat ekoe dow😂😂😂
Gravel is not necessary English tadpoles are all found in muddy ponds
Sure, but you'd still want your aquarium to look nice. You don't want to use muddy water in your home tank, do you?
I have 10 tadpoles and their healthy
That's great!
You lied you didn't catch no cat I tappos
What? I'm not too sure what you're talking about.
I have a million
Okay. That's a lot.
