Bull frog tadpole care/questions

[Frogman1031]

They look like bullfrog tads to me, if you bought them from a bait shop or something then they’re almost certainly bullfrog tads. The best tadpole diet would be boiled chopped spinach or romaine lettuce, you can supplement with fish flakes or bloodworms and stuff like that.

Bullfrog tads can easily take years to become frogs, and once they do you’ll need 50 gallons of space per frog at an absolute minimum, honestly 100 gallons per frog is best. They’re best kept in a large outdoor pond to be honest.

your water looks pretty murky, I would do a water change with dechlorinated water and also add a rock or platform so they can climb out of the water when they’re ready. A filter is not necessary, but it’ll significantly reduce the number of water changes you need to do. Depending on how messy they are, you might need to do water changes twice a week. Room temperature should be fine for them, though they will grow faster if kept at higher temps.

I got these little guys from a neighbors pond. They let me have them. One of them has little leg sprouts and the other has back legs about a centimeter long. I took them inside and they are in cleaner water with a small bulb for a few added degrees

I see, still looks like bullfrog tads to me but they could also be northern green frogs

We get quite a few of those around here. I just gave them the boiled spinach. How often do i need to give them that

[Jacobsherps]

Also the water was murkey because we were aclimating them and the pond had a muddy bottom

I would give them a bit every day, they’re little eating machines. Give them enough that they’ll eat but no too much so that the water gets too dirty, it’ll take a little trial and error. This is why the filter is really helpful because tadpoles are messy, so without a filter you’ll find yourself doing water changes annoyingly often

What filter type do you recomend. I dont want them to het sucked up
