So it turns out that this year there were so many tadpoles, that we decided to let the main pool be a breeding pool for the summer, and some of the tadpoles have begun there transformation into froglets, found on the sides of the pool. So I want to get about 4 of these little guys and raise them, but I want to be sure I have everything I would need (both knowledge and products), so I'm asking before taking the froglets.
I know I need;
-something to keep them in as they grow, for which I have a good sized pet carrier.
-substrate (i was thinking of using moistened paper towels instead of coco fiber?)
-food (pinhead crickets or fruitflies, probably going to have to order these)
-Hygrometer/thermometer
-multivit/calcium+d3 (as long as the stuff I give my mature H. cinerea is ok for the froglets, I've got this covered)
-coverage for them to hide in?
So I think these are the basics I need, right? Or what about lighting/warmth? Lastly, an issue with the divided populations of tadpoles; We currently have the main pool and a small kiddie pool in use for the tadpoles, however, the kiddie pool has a large amount of tadpoles to a small amount of water, especially when compared to the main pool, and the tadpoles in the kiddie pool are much smaller than those in the main pool. We've now decided not to even bother opening the pool this year, so I could transfer all of those tadpoles into the main pool and let them grow in there. Should I be concerned about the size difference among tadpoles though? Like, these are tiny compared to some of the larger tadpoles in the main pool. Sorry for a rant, but it's been awhile since I've asked about this situation :P. I'll also include some froglet photos soon too, they're getting all green and cute before they go gray. For starters though, there's this little guy/girl who's yet to finish absorbing their tail.
