Sexing and Characteristics: | Can’t tell sex until they Morph |

Substrate and Water Needs: | No substrates are needed for tadpoles but gravel and a rock or two looks nice. |
Lighting and UVB: | No special lighting is needed but if you have a small tank with a light hood that’s nice. |
Temperatures and Humidity: | Temperatures should be between 70 & 80. I put my Fowler’s Toad tads in 3-inches of "de chlorinated"room temperature water,they were very tiny. |
Heating and Equipment: | No special heating equipment is needed as long as they are kept in a room that is not cold. |
Caging Provided: | I morphed my tadpoles in a 5 gal. tank. When they started getting legs I mounded gravel and put some rocks by the water in half the tank for them to climb out on. |
Diet: | Herbivorous |
Description of Diet: | I was very successful with chopped lettuce boiled for 15 minutes, drained,cooled and given twice a day. I found that they also would eat algae wafers.But they liked the lettuce best. |
Supplements, Nutrition and Usage: | I gave no supplements |
Maintenance: | Gently take out each tad with a small fish net or cup,place it into a separate clean container with de chlorinated fresh water until living space has been cleaned. I completely changed water every other day,all gravel and stones were washed off also. |
Some Words on this Species: | You should keep a bottle a de chlorated water ready for changing at all times. I put 3-5 drops of fish tank water de clorinator in a 2 liter soda bottle filled with tap water. With clean water and good boiled lettuce they should be very happy Tadpoles. I enjoy the proses of watching them grow and morph. |
