    Default Another tadpole help topic, sick tadpoles

    Yeah I'm going to give them at least a few days to hopefully perk up. They were all pretty lethargic when I got them, it's been abnormally hot here recently so I'm sure that hasn't helped them either. I probably will isolate Lumpy, but it looks like he's just had some bad luck Thank you for your tips! I might use Melafix as a last resort for them but other than Lumpy they all seem to be getting stronger. Fingers crossed!

    Thanks for the replies guys! I'm really hoping they all pull through!


    Lumpy made it through the night, I put him in a small container so he doesn't have to use too much energy to move around if he needs to, and I can keep a better eye on him. It looks like he was nipped on the tail by something, there's still some red flecks around his tail.
    I'm hoping he's just healing, but he mostly just lays on his side 😞
    Seems like the translucent ones are doing just fine, no issues there.
    I'll post updates.


    Here's some better pictures:
