Re: Baby Frogs Dying

Could be something toxic in the ground water but unlikely to be lack of oxygen - they should be lung-breathing at that stage, I think.
Do the dead ones have all their limbs? Cannibalism is a possibility.
Do they have enough food? At the limbed stage they will be switching to a carnivorous diet (although marmite sandwiches are acceptable).
