CARING FOR SPRING PEEPER TADPOLES HELP!!!!!!

Spring Peeper Tadpoles:
-A 5 Gal or so Container. (Depends on how many you have)
-They will eat: Fish Food Flakes, Algae Disks, Or just thinks in the tank.
-The warmer it is the faster they will grow most of the time. I keep mine about 68-70 depending on surrounding temp
-Use Dechlorinated Water, I like to use Start-Right Frog Walmart. It’s About 3 dollars.
-I provide a UVB Light even though its not required
-I would put in some stones or thinks they can climb on after they morph to Froglets.
-Do daily Half Water Changes. This is like draining half out and refilling to keep the water nice looking and a better habitat for them to grow in.

Spring Peeper Froglets:
-I would use a 10 gal Aquarium with a secure Lid to prevent escape, Because they are Treefrogs so...
-I would provide them a small water bowl with Papertowl for the substrate. (Make sure you change the Papertowl damp and change it every other day.)
-You can provide a fake vine or a plant bought at the store. (DON’T USE WOOD AND PLANTS FROM OUTSIDE AS IT CAN CARRY PARASITES AND MITES)
-Mist the tank heavily but lightly a few times a day to keep the humidity up.
-You need to provide a UVB Light that will provide for natural day light, keep the humidity up and it will insure they don’t get bone disease.
-For food, I would provide wingless Fruitflys and after a week of them i would give them pinhead Crickets.

If you need anymore information or are confused somewhere, or just need advice... Send me a PM and ill be glad to help out.
