Congrats on the tadpoles! I have raised about 250 in my outside fountain! There were actually two different egg pods about 2-2 1/2 weeks apart.The first set were larger but also took longer to morph. I started to feed the tadpoles kelp flakes and veggie flakes I found at the pet store. They also loved algae tablets! As soon as they got all four appendages it is imperative you get them out of deep water. They will drown. I put mine in a hygrangea bush near the fountain and see small froglets very happy and forging on their own. Their tail resorbs very quickly, much sooner than I expected. Good luck with your babies. I have about 12 more teenagers to leave the fountain!
