My tadpole just turned into a frog! - Help.com

A Baby Frog:

The tadpoles will grow for several months developing lungs and learning to breathe on the surface. When his legs are grown and his tail is gone, he is a baby frog. If you have an aquarium and know how to feed frogs, (They must have live moving food, small enough to swallow.) cover the top of his tank with plastic screen so he won’t jump out. If not, return them to a pond or creek.

The change from tadpole to frog is called metamorphosis–just like caterpillers changing into butterflies.

Children have always loved tadpoles and liked to keep them to watch them grow into frogs. Have fun with yours this spring!

Instructions

Terrestrial (Land) Frog
1.
Step 1

Remember, frogs will eat just about any moving bug, though crickets are probably the most popular. You should be able to buy crickets at a pet store. If your frog is very small, try baby crickets or even aphids from your garden.
2.
Step 2

Give your frog as many bugs as they will eat in one session. Some frogs only eat a couple times a week, while some frogs need to eat every day. Start with only a few insects and then gradually increase until your frog stops eating the bugs in their aquarium. If you constantly see bugs crawling around your frog’s aquarium, you’re overfeeding it.
3.
Step 3

Coat the bugs with a calcium and vitamin supplement. This will ensure that your frog gets appropriate levels of needed nutrients. Speak to your vet or a pet store for more information about this.
Aquatic (Underwater) Frog
4.
Step 1

Give your aquatic frog bloodworms, earthworms, brine shrimp and feeder fish. You can find these at your pet store. Simply put the food into the water and wait for it to disappear.
5.
Step 2

Check on the food supply after 15 minutes. Food in an aquatic frog’s aquarium should disappear in about ten to fifteen minutes. If it doesn’t, you’re overfeeding your frogs.
6.
Step 3

Feed aquatic frogs every two or three days.
7.
Step 4

Add a calcium and vitamin supplement to keep your frog healthy.

put a lid on the tank! He will try to jump out

Do u think he would eat sandflies?
Put a light next to the tank at night.. outside on the porch. Let nature feed him….
ohh but dont let nature eat him lol….. watch da cat

not too sure on the blood worms.. Dont think there will b any harm in trying tho.
Yeah the aphids are a great idea…
Good luck

Thank you guys!

Blood worms are fine! He’ll eat them! i’d say he’d have a go at ordinary worms too.. aphids.. they’re kinda like ladybugs.. they’ll eat anything! within reason! 12ounce steak is kinda pushing it!
