In this presentation, we will talk about the feed and housing maintenance for tadpole raising into frogs. We will also talk about the tadpole tank maintenance which is very important in a successful tadpole to frog development.

1. What Do Tadpoles
Eat?

2. We will learn the things you need
to know about raising tadpoles

3. Housing and foods requirements as
well as tadpole tank maintenance.

4. Housing Requirements
For Tadpoles

5. You can use a tub
a small pool if outside

6. A large bowl inside
or even a large tank.

7. Place some gravel on the bottom...

8. A rock for shelter and
for the tadpoles to climb up on

9. When they begin to transform.

10. You can also place
some weeds or grass

11. With the roots attached
in the water.

12. The tadpoles will hang
onto the roots

13. And also eat the roots as they grow.

14. Make sure there or no pesticides
on the plants

15. Will KILL the tadpoles!

16. What Do Tadpoles Eat ?

17. Use water from outside to
place in your bowl or tank

18. If you're going to use
tap water…

19. Let the water sit for at least
24 hours uncovered

20. To allow the chlorine
to dissipate

21. The chlorine will KILL the
tadpoles if you don't do this

22. The water should be changed
on a regular basis

23. To keep it fresh and
the pH level balanced.

24. Boiled romaine
lettuce is one of
the best foods for
tadpoles

25. After boiling for 10
to 15 minutes

26. Cut it into small
pieces and provide
a little bit each day

27. You can also use
a small amount of fish food in
a tiny pinch

28. HOWEVER: it is not the best
food for them!

29. Try not to over
feed your tadpoles

30. Overeating can
cause them to DIE!

31. At the same time if you're not
feeding the tadpoles enough food…

32. They could start eating
each other!

33. The best approach
is to make sure

34. That there is food available
at all times

35. And to remove any food

36. That looks like it is beginning
to deteriorate.

37. You also want to keep
the tank clean

38. And make sure no bacteria
developing

39. Which can KILL your
tadpoles!

40. Tadpole To Frog Development

41. Tadpoles will develop
from the egg

42. In 6 to 12 weeks depending on
the temperature of the water

43. It should be kept
at 65 to 75°F

44. Once your tadpoles
begin developing legs

45. Make sure that there's an area
they can CRAWL UP on

46. They need to be able to get
out of the water

47. As their metamorphosis
takes place.

48. You also do not need to feed
the tadpoles once they sprouted arms

49. The energy and resources
they need

50. Come from the tail as they
metamorphosis into an adult frog.

51. Once the metamorphosis
is complete

52. Begin feeding
the froglets again

53. Release them into
a suitable habitat

54. THINGS to CONSIDER

55. One of the MOST
significant issues and problems

56. That many people have
who are raising tadpoles

57. Into frogs is keeping
the tank or bowl clean.

58. If you do not keep the
environment clean…

59. Bacteria will develop and
spread which can rapidly

60. KILL the tadpoles and frogs!

61. Frogs in the wild consume
lots of insects.
