These are a few pictures of me, not giving them any privacy.... How rude

This is the 1 tadpole that didn't make it in the Tupperware with the rest of them. It has lived its life in the water feature of the 75 gallon vivarium I build for the parents. Yesterday was its first day oow and today I find it all the way on the opposite side of the vivarium. This will be the one I keep and we have named it Maynard.

What do y'all think about leaving it in here and also putting the parents back in here? Do you think they could live together? Is their any chance of the adults trying to eat it? Or bullying? I don't want to put this froglet with the rest since I won't be able to tell them apart.

[mrzoggs]

Probably hard to tell how many froglets I have in here but there are about 35 give or take. Still more coming out of the water too. Bought a pothos tonight and have to clean it and put it in there still to give them something to climb on. Still no poop yet but most of them still have nub tails. I am going to hate it when I have 50 froglets pooping at the same time hehe

Wow this is awesome!
I'd love to breed retfs aswell, here in the UK, but at the minute just working on my pdf, then I'll try the retfs, I love them!

Looking great!

Keep little Maynard on his own for about 3 months until he grows to at least an inch and 1/4 or so .

Love the last photo with the 4 babies !

[mrzoggs]

Yes they are too sweet. Gonna be hard to get rid of them when the time comes

[Heatheranne]

That's how I ended up with so many, lol! After we rescued them I just couldn't give them up .

They're really pretty. I'm sure you'll find good homes for them .

[mrzoggs]

This is what happens when you have a bunch of hungry babies. A million poops all over the place every single day. I need to hire a maid

[Heatheranne]

Ooh! I see free plant food .

[mrzoggs]

Think it would be ok to put a couple inches of abg in there and seed heavily? Instead of changing paper towels all the time. I already have a pothos and a daylight clf bulb on it

[Heatheranne]

It likely would be. I still use paper towels except in my plant. I'm overly cautious though because mine were all rescues.

They look super ! Congratulations

I think it's best to continue the paper towel substrate.

Think of it this way....all that poop and pee...will be hidden... yuck ...not good.
Keep it simple...like a laboratory

[mrzoggs]

Thank you both. I almost need a 2nd frogger with me to be able to do any maintenance on the tank. When I lift the lid, they all get curious lol. So far so good though. They eat a ton. I have probably 15 ff cultures around my room and they have been demolishing all of my flies. Probably 300 a night
