Djpaulys,

Here's how I tend to my morphing tadpoles:

1. When I see front legs or know that they are on the verge of "popping" I will move the tadpole from it's 32 oz container to a 2 oz deli cup with just a little bit of it's water.

2. I leave just enough water in the cup to barely cover the tadpole.

3. I find one of my grow out tanks that has room and lean the cup against a leave, moss, etc. so that it's around 45 degrees and the frog has room to climb out of the water in the cup or climb out of the cup.

4. I check on the cups daily and will pour out water from cups that I feel that I left a little too full.

In the pictured tank I've got mostly red Adelphobates galactonotus and a couple of Powder Blue and Matecho tincs.

I do this with all of my tadpoles, even the ones I raise communally.

I do the same except raise the tads in 16oz cups and transfer them to 4oz. Same difference though.

I use a morph chamber. Which is a small Rubbermaid type bin, part land, part water, tilted at an angle. Just after tads pop front legs I put them in the morph chamber.
