Tsarmina Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 i was given some tadpoles the other day, a few of which have small back legs. i was wondering, approximately, what is the time frame per stage of turning from tadpole to frog. tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 anywhere from say 8weeks to 8months possibly even longer if over winter in the wild. lot depends on food and temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 so, the warmer it is, the faster? they're getting fed daily (with daily water changes to, lol), so have plenty of food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 yep pretty much. below about 15C growth can be slow to non existant. they go dormant to save enrgy and wait for greener pastures..ie summer when there is plenty of insects to support them. don't want this species to be overly warm though. 25C would be pushing it. outside in large trough or bucket is the best way to do it. will get cold at night but the warmth during the day is more than enough to stimulate them. minimal water changes and use green water if possible. they dont like clean water like fish.

Tsarmina Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 have a swimming pool full of water that hasn't been used in a year, lol, so have been using that and not tap water. they are only in a small tank at the moment, hence the daily water change. thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
