I had purchased 12 milk frog tadpoles a bit ago at the Poughkeepsie NY Reptile Expo. When going to check on them this morning, I noticed that one had sprouted front legs! I am currently keeping them in a 6qt Sterilite Bin, with about a gallon of water in it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to setup a new tank for any tadpoles with front legs, because I was told by the vendor to place them in a bin with a land area when they got front legs. Any and all help appreciated, thanks!
Hi,
If the water level does not gradually lessen to an area they can eventually climb on; have you considered floating land area ?
Or you could transfer them to smaller containers ( plural) and tip the containers. The smaller containers may make it easier to do the frequent water changes.

I ended up using a 5g with a mini turtle dock and a fake plant that is partially submerged right next to the turtle dock, this morning, one climbed out, but hopped right back in when he saw me.
Cute, any pictures?
I'm ready for pictures!!!!!
