We stopped feeding our spadefoot tadpole the lettuce when it sprouted all limbs and started slowly absorbing its tail. The tail is now just about to disappear, I would say it is more than halfway gone. I also noticed that the little guy seems a bit more sedentary than usual, and likes to stay out of the water and position itself between rocks and little corners, as if it wants to hide. I want to make sure that it isn't starving or getting sick. When should I start feeding him again? This time with protein?
Froglets will normally start feeding once tail is resorbed into body. Food sized same or smaller than distance between froglet eyes is appropriate (wingless FF, pinhead crickets, etc.).
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
