Tadpole Identification Help??

[froglover27]

oh and hold on! I will try to get some in a couple minutes sorry, missed that post..got distracted by your pics!!

Or just put very shallow water in the bottom of the tank. Be sure he can lift his head out if he wants. He'll likely start hopping about. Do you have any shallow bowls? Does he have small pads for toes?

Lol! That's funny

You're welcome .

You can look on YouTube too. See what has worked for others.

If I use rocks from outside..do I have to clean them first?

[Heatheranne]

Yep. I rinse all dirt and debris off then boil them for at least 10 minutes. Then I rinse with dechlor water.

UPDATE!!
two of the tadpoles now have four legs and are resorbing their tails! A couple look like they will soon grow their front legs too. this is so exciting!(: The tadpole I mentioned earlier that grew all the legs has now almost completely resorbed its tail! This morning I awoke to find the 'oldest' tad on the wall of his tank! And yeah they have small pads for feet. Oh! and is it safe to use a terra cotta pot holder as the 'shallow water dish'? thanks guys!!!

[Heatheranne]

Awe . Sounds like tree frogs. What do their markings look like?

[froglover27]

basically just solid gray.......and is it safe to use a terra cotta pot holder as the 'shallow water dish'?

[Heatheranne]

Hmmm....I've never used terra cotta. I am not sure. Send a private message to Donlisk. I'm sure he'll know .

[Heatheranne]

Does he look like any of these?

[froglover27]

um....no not really .....I will try to post pics of the new froglets...Getting a better camera later

[Heatheranne]

Hmmm...not sure then. Awesome! Can't wait to see them .

PICTURE UPDATE!!!!!



In the first pic, is the oldest tad that almost has its tail completely, 100% resorbed!!
The second one, has the oldest tad next to the second oldest. You can see the markings really well
The third pic shows one of the tads resting on the 'shoreline', sticking his head out of the water
The last pic shows the 'newest addition' hahaha still has a pretty big tail!!
I hope these can help with further identification...... Also, how many of them should be completely out of water??
FOUR OUT OF THE SEVEN ARE OUT OF THE WATER GUYS!!! WOOHOOOO

[Heatheranne]

Awe ...I think they are likely grey tree frogs. So cute!!! Great job! How are they eating for you?

[froglover27]

All but about two have absorbed their tails finally, so i purchased some flightless fruit flies today...nasty things haha I put a few in and they took to them pretty quickly! YAY!! haha and thanks! It has just been a pleasure raising the tads

[Heatheranne]

You're welcome. For me also .

Sad update;
I woke up this morning to find five of the seven froglets kind of shriveled up and even a couple on their back The other two were perfectly healthy on the side of the tank......What I don't understand is why this happened. They were all in perfectly good health last night, and eating too!! I examined the five sickly lookingones and some had 'bloody' toes, while others had fully stretched out legs. In the end, I figured three of them were completely gone and two of them still had some life in them. What did I do wrong??

[Heatheranne]

Not sure...everything seemed to be going well . I'm sorry .

[froglover27]

Thanks, but its okay......I still have two healthy froggies<3 And I don't know either

[Heatheranne]

Have you started dusting their ff with calcium?
