Where to get tad poles?

[XSpringer]

I'd like to raise half a dozen or so tad poles. Is there any place I could buy from?

If you are not looking for a specific species many online science supply stores sell tadpole raising kits. Otherwise you can check with breeders like Alpha Pro Breeders however, most breeders will not ship tadpoles. I'm sure someone here will be able to point you in the right direction.

Check your local ponds - I was in Virginia last week and there were piles of tadpoles to be had. Just be aware that you may need a fishing license to collect them.

I am looking for African Bull frog tadpoles. That's why posted in their forum.

You won't find those in your local ponds.

Short of breeding them yourself, you won't be able to acquire African Bullfrog tadpoles.

the only tad poles that i ever found n sell is only axototl some seller sell it from egg , i guess no one ever sell abf tadpoles except in their origin

Thanks for the info. So my best bet is a few small frogs at a reptile show? I really would like to start out with a group to ensure I get a male. Local shops sell them a bit high for me to purchase many

thefrogranch.com is a wholesale distributer. I believe the minimum order is $300 or $500 I can't remember for sure. I guess it is possible that they would sell you some tads but i would keep looking elsewhere. I have found distributers much harder to work with than small breeders are.

Yeah I saw that, I don't know if they would make any exceptions. Maybe if I was local yet I doubt they are in VA. Small breeders is what I'm looking for....

They are in Florida. It is certainly worth sending them an email, the worst they can say is "no".

They are in CA and will only sell whole sale as listed. I guess I'm going to have to make a purchase retail. I will likely wait till a go to a show.
