Want to share this as an educational post. We check our vivs very early in the AM before lights come on. I noticed something odd and an extra frog I didn't notice. We know all our frogs by the markings and patterns they have on top and underside of them. When we don't find eggs or they are very well hidden from us, tapoles will grow unassisted. This doesn't always mean they will be healthy. We try to offer everything in our vivariums for optimal growth. However, we prefer to hand raise all of our young. This child didn't make it for whatever reason. I suspect bad shed as it appeared that way to me upon closer inspection. I would have raised this child in a grow out, not in the vivarium. We've been in the hobby longer than we've been on socials or frog pages. We hope this helps new beggingers and established hobbyists.
