Is there any protocol to isolate mitochondria from xenopus laevis tadpoles or larvae?

Hello, I am trying to isolate mitochondria from xenopus laevis tadpoles and am having trouble. I am using a protocol that has been very successful in isolating mitochondria from rat hearts, but it is not translating over well. My respiratory control ratio is very low. I appreciate any insight.
