    It is best to leave wild animals in the wild. If you had found it as a tadpole and raised it in captivity, it would at least be used to being in a tank but since it is already used to being outside, you may have problems with it adjusting and getting it to eat.

    I'm confused. You said you found them as juveniles in the filter of your dads pond. Now you are saying you raised them as tadpoles, released them in your house and are wondering if you can keep them as pets?

    I think it would be best for him if you release him back into his natural habitat

    I mean is , I raised him last time when he was still an egg and popped to a tadpole and became a baby frog. So i released him when he was a baby . And i found him as a juveneile and took him and thinking if he can still accept to be my pet

    My question is: How do you know it is the same frog?

    Jero, despite the fact you raised the frogs from tadpoles into froglets, and released them into your pond, and now found them some time later, the frogs have probably acclimated to the environment, and taking them from it would be a traumatic experience for the frog, and possibly one that the frog would take a long time to recover from. I don't think that the fact that you raised them into froglets will affect how they are as frogs. Perhaps, you could try raising a very young froglet of whom still has his/her tail, since it would adapt to captivity easier.

    It is your choice, but please regard our advice.
