    Question Milk Frog Tadpole Question

    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.
