my tank has 3 month old anurans. Woodhouse and spadefoots and a rana species maybe. They are different predators, ambush, stalkers, sit and wait and jumpers. their prey also sometimes hides and sometimes forages. I am using a covered dish, egg crate , and a small tube with a hole to try and feed all the little guys. SOme sit next to the egg crate to eat, some hunt for the crickets in the covered dish, some have to jump to reach the feeder hole. Lets see which one works best.

So, IF frogs are adapted to explosive breeding in the monsoon season, AND monsoon events are changing to 1/2 total rainfall falling in just 12 days, THEN this would mean frogs have to adapt from a long wet season such as the Argentine savannah. An ephemeral pool recharged with rain and run-off is different than an ephemeral pool drying out quickly. Explosive breeding is in two parts,- laying the eggs and growth of larvae. Temporary marshland is ideal habitat for larval growth, and that is under threat from encroachment as well as climate change.

I notice the largest frogs already prefer to be in the water, they also are far more active. This seems to be the same behavior they retain at mating time.
