Basic Frog First Aid

[doganie]

Thanks

Ok, I bought some food, wardley reptile sticks; it says "This is a nutritionally balanced, floating stick ideal for all aquatic reptiles (e.g. turtles, frogs, newts)..." It says frogs so I thought it might be okay.
I didn't open it yet so it can still be returned. Do you think this is okay for the tadpole?
I know that live food is better, but I don't think my parents really want little creepy crawly things that could possibly get loose in the house.

I feed all my tads Tetra tropical fish flakes.

What about when they become frogs?

Right now I'm giving it TetraFin Goldfish Flakes and it seems to be doing fine.

He is going to need a way to get out of the water soon. He is going to be eating small crickets or fruit flies very soon.

[doganie]

Do they have to be live crickets? What about the dead ones?

[Paul Rust]

I have never fed dead food to my frogs. I know that young frogs have a voracious appetite and you are running out of time...lol
Live crickets aren't that big of a deal to contain and if they do escape they don't live very long.

[doganie]

Maybe I'll try both then. Thanks.
Also, I have no idea how to house it, right now I just took some fish pebbles and put them in a mound for something to climb on, but it doesn't touch it, it seems to like the sides of the container though. I read how to make a vivarium, but is it too young for that?
Thanks again.

Congratulations! That is a Pacific chorus frog. Looks great too. here, look this over. He is ready to come out of the water. You can look in my albums under Pseudacris.regilla and see my setup if you want. He needs to be eating fruit flies right now.
