This is when you should introduce him to what will be the staple of it's diet - hold off on treats such as bloodworms so they don't become spoiled. They can be like children...too much dessert and they won't like their veggies!
Jen, I was wondering if you could help me please. On your website it says to feed newly morphed froglets 1-2 tadpole bites twice a day. My Zoo Med food still hasn't arrived because the snow is stopping the postman being able to get to my house, so I've been feeding the frogs chopped up reptomin instead. I'm not sure how big the tadpole bites are compared to the reptomin sticks though to know if I'm feeding them enough. I've been giving each frog about a third of a stick of reptomin twice a day (every 12 hours). Should I be feeding them a bit more? They would probably eat more but I'm scared of overfeeding them.



Also, general update: I have 4 froglets without tails now I also have one more froglet who will probably have no tail by tomorrow, and loads of the tadpoles have all 4 limbs and/or look like the frog/tadpole in the pictures at the top of this page, so I should have lots more little frogs by this time next week I can't believe how quickly they're morphing.
