    Hi Corey! No experience with shipping frogs but wondering if tadpoles wouldn't be like shipping fish? If so, you can get supplies online (Aquabid) or in local fish shops and there are videos in YouTube explaining whole process: How To Post or Ship Live Fish - YouTube and Shipping fish part 1 - YouTube . 4x the bags (invert them bag to bag) and use duct tape to reinforce the outside bag lower 1/3 (you do not want your package leaking at all). Then bags go into one of those disposable thermo boxes with layered newspaper. If heat or cooling pack is required, place it on top with newspaper between it and bags; then close thermo box and place in fit or cushioned cardboard box. Do same labeling in box as explained by Ariel and do not write "live animal" on box. IMO FEDEX provides better service than USPS or UPS; but costs more. Good luck !

    To ship any kind of live animals legally across countries you need a transshipper licensed to do so in both ends. Cost is in high $100s due to fees and airline charges. Normally it's only feasible when sending many animals (100s) to divide costs among them .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
