Assuming they're anurans they are most likely detritivores and they will also eat algae. Keep the water clean (and use dechlorinator for new water) and feed with flaked fish food, rabbit/guinea pig food or meatier foods like "newt and salamander bites". Don't overfeed - flaked fish food won't make the water go bad very quickly but the other two will if you use too much and it's not eaten soon. Good luck.

Oh I see this is in the Bufo section. They will definitely eat the foods I've described. I'm raising some Bufo americanus charlesmithi tadpoles myself right now, mainl feeding flaked fish food. I got them as eggs and the largest ones have half-grown back legs.

I don't follow what you mean. Do you mean how do you look after the toadlets? Fruitflies, pinhead crickets. Keep the toadlets on soil with a few little hides. They grow rapidly if constantly fed.
