Keeping Them Healthy

A healthy frog needs a healthy diet.  This must consist of the correct foods that include vitamins and calcium.  A mixture of Frozen, freeze dried and pellet foods and maybe a few insects will make up a great diet.

Rearing the Tadpoles

You should make sure that the water is quite warm (about 24-26'c), you can use an aquarium heater for this, so that they will grow reasonably quickly. Never touch or catch the tadpoles in a net because they are EXTREMELY delicate.

Skin Shedding?

African Clawed Frogs do shed their skin. This is perfectly natural. They replace old skin with new every few weeks when they grow or when it's worn. It looks like a thin film coming off and they usually eat it after shedding. Excess skin shedding can be a sign of skin parasties or pollution or chemicals in the water.
