Sounds cool, now I know what to expect with my 50 little wood tads. Some have their full rear lags and arm nubs, a few have rear leg nubs while some little ones are barely developing yet. I split them in three groups according to size, and have a log floating for anyone who might decide to morph. I plan on keeping 6 or so of them.
Your setup sounds great. I would start off with pinhead crickets, placing the frog in a small tank with paper towel substrate, or at least hard-packed soil, and leaving it alone for a few hours every day. I do this by putting the frog/cricket into a small, yet tall, rubbermaid container and placing that into the regular tank, adding a moist paper towel shred, and leaving it overnight. As long as the frog and cricket(s) cant escape, it makes it easier for the tiny frog to eat, no "dirt mouth." They dont always start chomping food right away, one green frog i had took nearly a month after absorbing the tail. I would suugest seeing what ones eat the most readily, and keeping them; that's what I plan to do, though it will be tough with 50 tads and i'll hafta watch discreetly.
glad there's someone else out there who raises wood frogs! this is my first batch of this type of frog, so we'll see how it goes.. ----- *~Ginevive~*
