    Well, based on the photo of the adult frog you found, I would say its the most likey the same species, Limnodynastes tasmaniensis.

    Ooh are they all the same? How many are there? Also are you ready for that many frogs? I made the mistake of capturing a bunch of tadpoles once and not being ready for the toads.

    yes they all came from the same dam so I am assuming they are all the same species, we have a pond to put some in and friends who have asked for some for their ponds also and we will probably return the remainder to the dam where they came from

    Your froglet looks a lot like Litoria subglandulosa or one of its close relatives. I don't think it is a Limnodynastes tasmaniensis based on these latest pictures. Where exactly are you from?

    I just wrote an article on L. subglandulosa, so I am hoping this is what they are. If so maybe I could use your pics in the article.

    I am pretty sure you should place them in a cage that has a sloping water area to land so they can choose when to come out.

    For froglets about to pop or already popped the front legs you want the water end to be just deep enough to cover the froglet's back, and make sure it can climb out very easily or they will drown. If it's a tree frog it should be better at getting out of the water but don't take any chances.
