We went camping in Monday and I captured 4 tadpoles out of hundreds and now have them in a tank! super excited to watch them grow with my stepson.

I raised these 2 frogs from tadpoles. They're 1 year olds now

I raised this ADF from a tadpole.



I raised these Rana temporaria tadpoles into frogs.



My advice is to treat terrestrial frog tadpoles as fish of the same size and to make it super easy for them to leave the water when the time comes as they will drown if they possibly can.

Look at the little guys!!

That's so cool. One of the few things of the sort I've never done but always wanted to!

I've got 2 toad tadpoles who almost have full back legs ! I'll release them once they about an in long.

Don't expect those frogs to climb out and breathe.

To avoid drowning you would need gravel all round the perimeter so that wherever they are they can climb out.

I’m taking these frogs to a nearby pond or stream glad I could rescue them, but they need a healthy natural home. I’m not sure how to get water flow in my fish tank unless I commit and get all the accoutrements. I’m a fish person, not a frog person

Good bet. The baby roads are very hard feed.
I put A backyard pond in just for toads to lay eggs in it. I get hundreds of babies hoping around my yard. I get some many I cant cut my lawn for a few weeks every summer in the one park of my yard. I just saw a 2 year old toads last week. I’m sure it’s one I watched grown up. The same male and female pairs come back every year. I love it.
