My Grey Tree Frog Tadpole Problem

[Revosok]

Sorry for being impatient, but the lives of 6 tadpoles are on the line, can anyone please help?

[Dace]

Try boiled greens or algae. Although if you think their lives are on the line I don't see why you don't just release them back into the pool.

[Revosok]

That is a good point, but I really want to keep them. While I was waiting for a reply to the thread, I went to a very large puddle near my house (which is wet or frozen all year round) and I fished out a plastic bag's worth of algae and put a little into my tank, the tadpoles look like they are eating, so I will probably be just fine. And also, what do you mean boiled greens?

[Dace]

I mean boiled lettuce, spinach or kale or something.

[Revosok]

Thank you for your advice. I boiled some lettuce and froze it. But before I put it in the tadpole's tank, how small should I chop it? (And anyways, my Dad is going to put chlorine in the pool soon, so my tadpole's best chance at survival is in my tank).

[Dace]

You don't need to chop it. That'll just make cleaning up leftovers harder. Tadpoles don't swallow chunks of food, they rasp away at it.

[Revosok]

Okay, thank you. I noticed that they attached to the lettuce and sucked it.
