I had seven tadpoles. Unfortunately five of the seven, including the green frog tad which i had affectionately named "Scar" due to the large, you guessed it, scar along his side, died. Only two survived. I did notice that some sort of fungus had swept through the tank. Luckily, the two that didn't get infected made it to frog hood. They turned into cute little pickerel frogs! Of course (like every time i successfully raise a tad) I'm going on vacation on Sunday! And will not be back till saturday! (During which time i will be jet-lag cranky). Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. But with the fungus that infected the other tads (pretty sure not chytrid cause all the frogs in the lake are fine. None dead that I've found) should i release the two baby froglets?! I would HATE for them to die but hate even MORE for me to release some sort of pathogen into the lake. Help!



The Frog chooses its owner. Treat your life-long friend with respect and care and it will never disappoint!
