Hi i went to the petstore to get crickets today and found a cage that said tadpole frog 1.75 and a had to get it.The lady at the petstore got it out of the tank and i was shocked it had no back legs at all.The lady said it found itself in the koi tank when he was a froglet and the koi ripped his legs of,next thing you know hes for sale.I knew i had to get him.Does anybody know care of him, i mean i belive hes a bullfrog and bullfrog need water so?Ill post pics later.

It'll be a tough road for a frog with no rear legs. Is it eating? Make sure the water is shallow enough that it won't drown. You might consider clipping the crickets rear legs before feeding them to give the frog a reasonable chance to catch food.

I will be honest, the little guy probably wont survive and if he does his life will be rather miserable. The most human thing you can do is go get some Oragel or Lanacane and place a drop about the size of one of his eyes on his back... The benzocaine will numb him to death.

somehow he grew his legs back and as for his feet, theres no toes.

He actually grew his legs back?? Ive never heard of this. Is it possible to post a photo?

Ditto on the photo.
Tadpoles can regenerate rear legs and tails before they fully morph, after that the ability is gone.

i guess i was getting a little crazy with the legs thing,but him can jump fine, eat fine.I swear that i will raise this frog know to its maxium lifespan and if not it can scar me for life.

I wish you all the best, and I think you will do an amazing job of raising him or her. Best of luck to you!

Thats great that your frog is getting around and eating well. I wish you both the best.

I did not know that.

I kind of want to post one of those "The More You Know" pics.

Of course I was under the impression that he was a metamorph rather than a tadpole

I wasn't quite sure of age either, if it really regenerated legs than it must be a tadpole still. Of course we would love to see a pic.
