Hi folks: In the case that an Imitator is not doing their parental duties, what must I be prepared to do for the Tads and what supplies should I have on hand? Thanks-Maggie

Hi,
What I would do is take the tad out of whatever place it is deposited,film canister,brom axil,etc.,and put it in a small deli cup and feed it tadpole food or tropical fish flakes.I have done it several times.One thing is when the parents raise them the froglets are very small.The one I have that the parents raised couldn't eat fruit flies for the first say 2 weeks it was out of the water so I'd make sure I had some springtails ready.If you feed them yourself they can take melonogasters right out of the water.E-mail me and I can send you a pic of "Tiny".That is what my wife named it.I am hoping it turns out a male because I have an extra female ready for him.
Good luck,
Mark W.
