Hi guys! I have what I am told an African dwarf frog but after doing lots of internet research I am more leaning towards them being african claw frogs as they have webbed back feet but single digits for front legs.
Anyway .. I have a male, I borrowed a female and I tried to rear the eggs. I didnt havemuch success I fed them on liquifry2 and drops of boiled squished up liquidised spinage.
One of my tadpoles got hair in his mouth a single strang that must of dropped in the water so I thought his days would be numbered for sure. It turns out he was the only one of about 20 eggs that survived long enough to get back legs. That was around 4 months ago.
In the last fortnight he has grown front legs.. I had given up on him because he wasnt developing as tadpoled are meant to grow a lot faster than he has. but he now has front and back legs and his tail is getting shorter by the day.
The problem is I cant get him to eat! He still seems to filterfeed Ive tried live daphnia, live blood worm, and he shows no interest at all. Ive tried getting him out and putting him in a small container so that the food is more or less taking up most of the water but still he wont eat!
He's super small about the size of your thumbnail
What tips can you give me to get him going?
Many thanks![]()
