eggs laid today 9/13/17

[alane]

I had one female frog this year lay a few clutches of eggs. the tadpoles were able to eat a 5 pound box of spinach. you don't have to boil it for a full 10 minutes, just boil until it wilts.
then serve forth.
i boiled my spinach as needed, just a handful of leaves once they had finished the last handful.
another vote on spinach being the best food for them...they seemed to like that food the best, by far.

once they emerge, i fed them fruit flies. i ordered my initial fly colonies from Josh's frogs and every week would start new colonies. Takes about three weeks for them to hatch out.

it is not long before they can eat small crickets.

i kept tadpoles in both a separate tank as well as the adult aquarium and in my case, the tadpoles in the adult aquarium fared better than the ones I separated. The tadpoles in the adult tank spent a lot of time eating slime and algae as well as spinach, I believe that makes a difference.

five pounds of spinach put some awful stuff into my tank filters. it was green, yes, but it did NOT smell like spinach. *yuck*
