Wood frog tads!

Thanks I will look into those. I can't have fruit flies because I'm only 13 and therefore live under my parents "laws". My mom basically thinks they're going to overrun the house.

Have your mother please read below paragraph. If that does not work; try and get some springtails fast. If you can't get them to eat and they start losing weight; recommend release them near a pond before they starve.

Hi LL's Mom! Wingless fruit flies can't fly and will quickly be eaten by frogs. Even if they escape container; they will not survive for long without food and create a bug issue in your home. I have raised crickets, couple roach species, fruit flies, and worms. Even when there is an escapee (usually crickets); they do not survive in modern household environments well. To deal with escapees you can use a glass mason jar or similar on it's side or slanted against wall with a bit of molasses inside. It becomes a natural "tar pit" that will attract and capture any loose bugs in house .

Thank you, I will show her this. I am ready to order springtails/pinhead crickets if need be. The froglets will probably be released next weekend after the crazy week long rainstorms end.

I got a yes! Thanks so much now they can stay nice and plump until they can be released! This also means pdfs are an option in the future

I am so glad your mom decided to lt you do the fruit-fly culture. I too was leary about the little bugs, but Carlos is right, they will not be a problem. My fiance is still not keen on the idea for flys, but if I have to get them for my little guys, he is just gonna have to accept it, lol. I will keep them in the garage if I have to. I hope your froglets are doing good, they are so cute! My Leopard Tadpoles are about to morph now, I think they have about a month for one and maybe a little longer for the other. I can't wait til they climb out of the water for the first time! Good luck with the babies!

Thanks! I will try to post feeding pics tomorrow, can you post a picture of the leopard tadpoles? I have never seen them before.

Here is the link to my albums here on Frog Forum. I tried to copy the pics to the post, but I am still new to this so I could not figure it out... lol. Sorry. I will be putting up new pics of the Leopard Tadpoles soon. They have changed so much since I took these pics a few weeks ago. Cookie is about to morph, she now has tiny little back legs! Enjoy! And I can' wait to see updated pics of your babies, too!
