My little girl bailed she had enough of him hugging her I guess. My daughter
left the tank cover open and later when I noticed she was gone. I tore the room
apart looking for her, but no luck. All but me seem to be ok with it since the
male is now finally quite again. It is very sad, but I am at a loss of what to
do. So I just hope she shows up. Thank you for the replys.

You probably have eggs, and/or tadpoles by now?

Usually the parents will leave the babies alone, at least until they
morph out into frogs. But, just in case, it's a good idea to
separate them. It's a whole lot easier to move the adults to a new
tank than to try to catch all the tads.

Then, feed the tads a variety of algae wafers, "tadpole bites" (a
brand name aquatic frog food), and frozen foods such as bloodworms.

They may begin to morph out in as little as a month, so keep an eye
on them. When they get their front legs, and start climbing out of
the water, begin offering them flightless fruitfiles. At first you
may have to use Drosophila melanogaster, the smaller of the two
species available, but soon they should be taking D. hydei.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us.
