New Grey tree frog tadpole momma (41 babies)

[ColleenT]

i raised a few in June. I have 2 Gray tree frogs that lived and they are currently an inch long Snout to Vent. what i did was use a few critter keepers, and clean the water every other day. I used a dechlorinator , since i have town water. i fed them zoomed frog and tadpole food. about 2-3 small bits for each tadpole. They do become cannibalistic, so be careful. no heat, just normal indoor temps are fine. once they get their 4th leg, you need to reduce their water and give them a place to get out of the water as Grays will drown if they cannot get out when they need to. no substrate. they can ingest it. i will post a pic of my Current Vivarium. it is an Exo-Terra 18x18x24 high. Clean water in a bowl, pothos plants are good, b/c they are very strong and also hardy.

Here is my setup, the frogs are an inch long and you can see them at the tops of the bamboo. i mist them a few times a day.

Hi Colleen, Thanks for the Info. Basicly I'm doing everything except i keep 40 + tads in a 5 gallon aquarium that I change out 80 % of the water every 48 hrs. I take them out asap when I see them /4 legs. I had two froglet die on me yesterday…. Bummer…. I just got them their fruit flies same day ,but they had absorbed all of their tales two days prior. So I guess the little guys starved. Or it was that stupid Tad & frog micro pellets that I put in .May have screwed up the bacteria levels . My fault I didn't change out water after I saw they weren't eatin that any way!!! I had to try to feed them something! They sure do not want that! Found out the hard way…. God they were so dam cute. My question to you is did you feed them wingless fruit flies or what once they have resorbed their tail and have the little nub tails? Thats what I read on this website! My one frog just sits there . I have yet to se him hunt. I put a live baby philadenrem plant in the tuperware with some frog moss too. He looks better today and is sitting up on the top leaf!!! Thats good sign I guess. The other froglet yet to resorb his tail , hangs in the end of tuperware in half inch water. The guy at our local reptile store said they may eat even in the resorb stage. I put a tiny piece of banana in near edge of water so flies have a hang out area. Next do your lites emit uvb and uva rays to help replicate sunlight? They look like LED lights ? I'm gonna use clay hydro balls /screen and then substrate topped /live sphagnum moss with a pump waterfall setup maybe. This system is supposed to self clean water like a mini aquifer filtering and so on . Sounds neat to me. Spoiled frogs or what. How long until you saw you newly metamorphed frogs eat. When they get big enough the small crickets, right? Small worms too i heard? LOVE LOVE LOVE your doggies!!! We both have rat terriers . Mine have hair of course. When I figure out how to put photo on here I 'll send you some pixs of my three cutie pies ! Are you called bat healer?? It said that .? Thanks Betsy in wI
