[Frogman1031]

Hey ff, as u may know I posted about one of my two leopard frog tadpoles being sick. Well he/she is doing much better but now my other tadpole is not. It's not eating or pooping at least that I could tell and it is very,VERY skinny. I don't know if it will survive without help soon.

Tadpole died hopefully the other one will make it I just don't understand, It was fine and fat two days ago and now it was dead and emaciated.

so i am wondering... what is the symptoms of parasites in tadpoles? when my frogs had parasites they also got very skinny... I mean i was able to treat my frogs but tadpoles are a different story. I really wanna know why the the posters tadpole didnt eat. the tadpoles of this particular species is hard to kill. has anyone experienced parasites in tadpoles? I have never really heard about such experiences. there has got to be a good reason why it died and i really wanna know why.

There is no telling if tadpole had parasites or something else caused it's death DA. I posted the "Trouble in the Enclosure" questions on OP's previous thread; but until they get answered, it's hard to figure out the issue.

Parasites would have had to have been in the water. If the parents had parasites they do not get passed on to the eggs unlike mammals who receive tbe parasites from the infected parent.

That is interesting. I really hope we can get to the bottom of this.
