Leucs n' Tincs

[Happy Frog]

Space and efficiency...I have tried thinking of all the ways I could make my tadpole and froglet rearing easier, but some things can't be changed too much. I used to raise Tarantulas and Scorpions so I can relate to your questions. It's quite a daunting task to find your tarantula's egg sac broken open and there's 400-600 spiderlings that need to be housed and fed individually in deli cups.

This last summer I was dealing with close to fifty Leuc froglets and all I could come up with was using Rubbermaid/Sterilite tubs that I set up like a vivarium. I could see in and they were relatively portable.

Mixing the two froglets for a short period of time? I've never read of anyone doing it and I've read quite a bit about froglet care. Maybe they would get along, maybe not. I myself would not do it for the reasons mentioned above.

Have you seen these?

128 oz Round Container and Lid (10 pack) - Round Animal Display Containers | Josh's Frogs

If you should purchase something like these ( available in shoe box size and sweater box size ---as Bill mentioned), be sure the lids sits on the box nicely.

I believe the photo of Josh's is all containers / with smaller containers inside them ... holding tadpoles? But not certain?

reminder: Tinc tads need be raised individually until they- at least- have their front legs. Only at that point
( when absorbing their tails and not eating) can be put together. They are cannibalistic. I believe most people leave them separate even longer ....until they are eating/ readily on their own. Also, I believe they secrete a hormone that will inhibit the growth of other tads if sharing a 'tad container'.
