I got three tadpoles a few weeks ago, I only wanted 2 but a third hatched in transport(the egg was stuck to a plant and no one saw it). So now I have 2 baby frogs only 2 days old and the third is still a tadpole. It hasn't grown legs or anything yet. Right now I have my tank half water and water land that slopes into the water. They are so tiny I have to use a flashlight to find them. One is a nice pastel green with black spots and the smaller one is dark brown with black spots. I've kept them before, but I forgot how tiny they are when they first emerge. I really liked your article, it let me know that was doing things right to begin with^^ It was a chore finding crickets small enough for these guys as the largest one is still only 1.5cm long. Most of the small crickets the stores had were bigger than them.
After I lost my 3 a few years ago, I couldn't keep anymore. I wanted to but I thought I did something wrong; I could never find a care sheet on them though. My first 3 I acquired up in WA, I live in OR; I got these 3 from a local place within walking distance. I switched my first 3 to a mostly dry tank with a waterbowl. They lived on fishtank gravel; is that okay? I used the gravel in the tank for the tadpoles for easy cleanup, but is it okay for the frog? I have cocofiber for my pacman tank(I'll get him in august) when do you think I should switch them over, if at all? I haven't gotten any non-aquatic plants established in their tank like I have with my pacman tank because it was for tadpoles and full of water. There is java moss which i found out will grow on land if moist enough. Would a baby spider plant be okay for them right now? Sorry for the long post, I just really want to do this right and have my frogs live longer than a year this time.
