Abstract
Adult frogs that are well-cared-for will give high-quality eggs and embryos for use in every Xenopus protocol. Thoughtful frog husbandry is thus pivotal to successful research using these organisms. Protocols for successfully raising tadpoles, establishing and maintaining water quality, and detecting specific pathogens are key to maintaining healthy frog populations.
