Great video as always! I do have a question for you though, would you ever do a vlog following a single tadpole/froglet?? I think that would be super cool especially if it were one you were going to keep!!!

[@NorthernFrogger]

I think that's a great idea! I will have to work on that...

[@coleholtermann2524]

You are a smart man lol I was going to build one but I never thought of buying one and I’ve worked in a bakery

[@NorthernFrogger]

I thought about building one too, but with the cost of wood these days I figured I would save some time and just go this route...

[@oliverobeid8352]

i have my first 3 tadpoles growing. it’s so cool to watch!

[@dawnmitzner5222]

Great video! Thanks for the information regarding the bakers rack and the tip of where to find one! Look forward to seeing how the eggs and tadpoles develop. Hope you share updates!

[@Ziggy1805]

I'm so glad you are back... Was wondering what happened to you I'm pretty new to your channel... Awesome video thank you...

[@NorthernFrogger]

Yeah, I tend to have a very inconsistent upload schedule, but I'm trying to get better about that!

[@cl6854]

I live in Ontario and would love to know where you are and how I could by some of your frogs? Love the videos

[@gmoooooney]

Great video thanks

[@gmoooooney]

I did what you asked us not to…. I became attached to the old rack 😩

[@NorthernFrogger]

😂

[@crittersmoore1748]

Great video! I just moved close to you (relatively) and I am expanding my frog collection. If you're looking to move any old tanks let me know!

[@michaelmelo8075]

Keep up the good work , I like your new style of vlogs.

[@NorthernFrogger]

Thanks! Will do!

[@benstocker7698]

When’s the next video man love you content 👍🏼

[@ScaryFear]

Oh wow thank you for answering my question in a video and giving me a shout out. This was very interesting. I was wondering what you where going to get for new shelves. That baker's rack is really cool. Love how many shelves you can have. I guess the parental care is very important in Ranitemaya like touch is important in human babies. I didn't know mason jars came in a half size. I'll have to look for that now. Very cool. Ha, I hand wash all my dishes so I have been reusing my plastics. No problems for me to wash dishes plastic or glass. Your videos are very helpful and informative and I like seeing your set ups. Gives me ideas. I have good news. My first tadpole got all four legs today and crawled out of the water. Soon I can put it in a grow out tank. It's an Epipedobates anthonii Santa Isabel.

[@hh_herpetology3373]

Thank you for explaining your ranitomeya process, I plan on focusing on them and it’s hard to find info on the minor differences in breeding them!! I’ll remember this, thank you for saving me tadpole loses

[@scottwiseman6686]

Josh, are you going to be vending at the Calgary reptile expo next month?

[@garysteinert8040]

Pulled 4 blue tinc eggs today.

[@user-lz7ol8du1z]

いつもみてます！

[@hdjsj7286]

I’m getting it for my birthday and I Have a budget

[@kristyc1046]

I get my diatomaceous earth from a local nursery, much better price than Josh's frogs and the like.

[@NorthernFrogger]

Yeah I got mine from a feed store, it was a 5lb bag for like $12 and it's lasted me for years lol.

[@KimmiiPooH]

I just started doing research for dart frogs that I want to get in the near future! Your videos are extremely informative and have been so helpful! New subbie! So forgive me if you’ve explained this in the past; can you make a video on your process and/or suggestions on what to do when you plan on going away for more than 2 days or your tips for interested future frog owners on this matter so they are aware of the responsibility prior to going into it?

[@NorthernFrogger]

Great suggestion! A guide about how to leave your frogs for vacation is definitely a high priority for a future video!

[@jones231]

Nice video! How much water do you add to the eggs for D. leucomelas ? Mine got 6 fertilized but after a few days 4 got moldy.

[@jean-luclopez2091]

Hi,very nice video, I have one question how many time tadpole began eat after eclosion thanks

[@NorthernFrogger]

Hi! Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean here... Could you try rephrasing the question? If you're asking about feeding frequency, I usually feed my tadpoles about twice per week.

[@jones231]

Where did you get the white Petri dish from? Thx!

[@chrisferrari8301]

Hi ....for your tadpole & juvenile water changes - do you use tap or RO....If it's tap do you use a de-chlorinator - if its RO do you add any mineral ? Enjoy the vids...

[@NorthernFrogger]

I use RO water, I don't add anything to it, but I do let it age exposed to air for a few days before using it for tadpoles

[@JayeVee]

Hi there Josh, I was wondering if qe can use diatomaceous earth and dust them with some fruitflies for a new culture since joshs frogs bug blade is made up from the same can we dust any fruitflies that's infected with Diatomaceous earth for a new fruitfly culture? Will it be harmful for my darta

[@jazzzhammer]

Hi there! Are you by any chance subscribed with Dendroboard ? Still loving the vlogs!

[@NorthernFrogger]

I lurk on dendroboard sometimes but I don't think I ever made an account...

[@jazzzhammer]

@@NorthernFrogger since I don't have any other type of social media (yet) for me it's the go to for everything about frogs, I thought if you were there I could show the tanks I have build so far 😁

[@coleholtermann2524]

How often do you change the tadpole water?

[@christysank7705]

the Frog care videos ?

[@preppergirl2866]

What does a bad egg look like compared to a good egg?

[@NorthernFrogger]

Usually a good egg will be a nice round black ball inside of the jelly. Within a few days you should start to see the tiny tadpole starting to develop on top of the ball. A bad egg will usually turn white or cloudy within a couple days and start to lose the nice round shape

[@mattk3292]

Do you have a link to the white cups you use under the coconut hides?

[@NorthernFrogger]

I don't unfortunately... I got them from a local pet store and they don't seem to be on their website either. They are meant as like mealworm feeder cups though if that helps, they came with a little ring that clips on the top to make a lip so the mealworms can't crawl out, but I just removed that part. I can't really find anything equivalent online at the moment though...

[@mattk3292]

@@NorthernFrogger thanks so much!!

[@hdjsj7286]

I am getting a giant day gecko and I am wondering what size of a tank a should get.

[@NorthernFrogger]

I would say 18x18x24 as a minimum

[@hdjsj7286]

Do you know where I can get good deals for them

[@coleholtermann2524]

What cup size do you use for the rack?

[@NorthernFrogger]

It's 250 ml, or 1 cup

[@twincreekprecision8727]

@@NorthernFrogger could you provide details or measurements on the rack assembly? That’s an awesome setup. There seems to be multiple sizes available.

[@marilynlewis4587]

Do you ever come to the U.S. for a reptile show?

[@NorthernFrogger]

I haven't yet but that is something I would love to do! I think it would be torture though because I probably wouldn't be able to bring anything back with me lol
