    spinach seems to be a great tadpole food. just wilt a few leaves, throw it in the tank. high in calcium.

    algae pellets should be a good food with a wide spectrum of nutrients.

    that's what I use. spinach and pellets.

    weird. it sorta does sound genetic. i was wondering just today how all of these frogs could possibly mutate from little grape like globs into actual frogs. you can see through them when they are tadpoles. the process must be pretty mindbendingly complex. and also fairly cute. mine are just sprouting legs.

    One of them has been observed with the ability to close their mouth but only for short periods of time. So I wonder if it's indicative of a breathing problem or infection. I hope I shouldn't have to worry about the other froglets, though the rest are all super healthy, active, and have great appetites.
    These two are in a critter container quarantined from the rest. They didn't want to eat today so I left a few fruit flies in with them.
    I'm still considering euthanizing, but curious to see if they improve.
