Thanks for your input! As much as I like the little guys, I am still thinking that they would be happier living a free life in the "wild" since they were born outside. Also, I will check out the care sheet info.

Apart from possible pathogen issues, local laws and upsetting the natural balance would be other concerns. This is assuming you're releasing them where you found them. You should check your local laws though.
It may seem sad, but never forget that the overwhelming majority of frog eggs laid never end up making it to the land stage and even fewer survive to enter the breeding population. Helping large numbers develop past the most vulnerable stages does have the potential to be disruptive to the local balance. Ideally in a healthy ecosystem this will balance itself out and most likely a small amount of human interference is insignificant compared to normal seasonal population variances. Certainly helping a half a dozen tree frogs along won't even be a measurable blip.
Visit your Fish and Wildlife or similar state regulating webpage and there will be the laws regulating your state and contact info to ask them.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Thanks
