Hi, my sister bought leopard tadpoles for her classroon in late spring. The tadpoles didn't change so she brought them home for the summer. They seem to have gotten slightly bigger but no signs of change. One just died. Is there anything I can do to help out the remaining tadpole? Any advice would be greatly appreicated as I do not have much knowledge on amphibians.
Thanks! -Patty
Hey Patty, I'm sorry for the loss of your little one.
What type of water are they in? Is it tap? Treated or untreated for chlorine/chloramines? How often is it changed? What are they being fed? What's the water temperature? Did the one who passed away appear 'bloated' or show any appearance of skin discoloration? There are a lot of variables at play here, and to get a better idea of why/how the first one died and how to keep the other one healthy we'll need to get a little more background info from you.
As Mattie says, we need to know more about how you are keeping them to figure out what's wrong. Tadpoles should grow fast and eat well so you're definitely doing something wrong.
