Baby spring peepers

[Canterthefrogman]

Hi everyone!

I got some small tadpoles and the grew up and started to look like spring peepers, but I do not know what to feed them and I can't find anything small enough that they could eat. Please help!

Hi . I am raising toad tadpoles and had the same trouble. I skim the grass with a white cup for gnats and aphids. Don't use ants or spiders or anything bigger than about the size of a pen ink dot.

Have any pictures?

Thanks, I hope that will help!

Will they eat dead foods. Just wondering.

[Canterthefrogman]

I can try to get pictures but, they are very small right now.

Ok
As tadpoles mine would eat boiled romaine lettuce (boiled in dechlor water), tadpole bites, and dried seaweed (from fish section). They ignore those foods now.

I am thinking about ordering springtails, but I need to find out how small they are first.

Anything else?

Depending on their size when their tails have reabsorbed, they can eat fruitflies.

Look on joshsfrogs.com. They have small feeder insects in their food section. Insects that are tiny and can be fed to dart frogs can be fed to froglets and toadlets.

What are you feeding the tads?

Some pet stores also carry flightless fruit flies. My local Petco store does. The ff's are currently too big for my toads. I ordered springtails today.

Here is a picture of my toadlets. They are still tiny. About 4 mm or so.


Of you had to guess, about how big would you say they are?

springtails are very small, sometimes hard to see unless you get really close
