A kink in the tail

tommot Aug 11, 2003 02:12 AM

I have a bullfrog tadpole that has a kink in its tail, but i don't have cholonated water. It lives in a fish bowl by it self. I see no reason why the tail should be kinked can any one help?

It isn't anything to worry about. I've raised Leo's, Red Eyes and Cubans from tadpoles and have had several kinked tails. Sometimes they just grow at an uneven rate and it causes the tail to bend a bit. Once they morph and start to absorn their tails it goes away and there are no lingering problems.
