Pacific Tree Froglets-care?

Casper06 Jun 02, 2007 02:55 PM

I have 10-15 pacific tree frog tadpoles. Two of them reciently changed into froglets and began climbing out of the water. Within about 24 hours of changing each one died. They hand't eaten any "frog food" as in small insects, they only food in their cage is plants and stuff for the tadpoles to eat. All the tads are healthy, but the two froglets just died? I would like to know why? Did they starve? Any help would be great as I have two more that will mature any time now.

Thanks!
Emily

thanks! I knew that they needed to be fed small insects. I was trying to find fruit flies but so far none of the pet stores that I've tried carry them. I'll see what I can do about getting some pinheads! Thanks again!
