My albino clawed frogs mated for the first time and I'm losing the tadpoles. They lived for about a week and were free swimming and seemed to be eating crushed frog pellets and a lettuce leaf...10 died today.I was not planning this at all, so I'm reading up real quick, but I don't seem to be doing very well. Can someone give me some basics?
Tadpoles are often difficult to care for. Here are some things to consider:
1) Water must be clean. 25-50% of the water should be changed daily.
2) The pH should range between 6.5-7.5.
3) The temperature between 68-75 (F)
4) Food size is critical. I recommend using a specially formulated tadpole food from Xenopus Express Homepage. Good luck and don't give up
