We bought our kids 2 "planet frog" sets with 2 tadpoles each about a year ago(leapard frogs, I think). early on one died from each, and now one year later (no changes;still tadpoles) one is belly up a lot, and breathing funny. What could be the problem? Why havent they turned? we were told they should have turned within 2 weeks, and so the company keeps sending us more food called "Hikari Tropical crab cuisine tadpole food". Should we be feeding them something else? I fear we may be down to our last tadpole soon and really hoped the kids could have had a positive experience with this. Any help appreciated.

if you dont have a filter or adequate filtration, which i dont think the planet frog things do, that could be the problem. i would put them in a good setup with a small aquarium, whisper micro filter/10i same thing just different names. reptofilter is also the same except with green plastic and a cover. that will give you the filtration they need. pile some gravel up at one end for them to come out as they want. some tadpoles take up to 2 years to change, but i dint think leopard frogs are one of them. they may have mistakenly given you a different kind of frog. hikari is a good food, but variety is always a good thing. you can try a different brand of tadpole food, but that shouldnt stop them from changing.
