Froglets/Tadpoles

No, absolutely not.

It looks like it has toe pads so I'm guessing it's a gray treefrog (which is what I thought to begin with).

so when my uncle brings a tank down i should set up a habitat with a little more land than water?

could this also be why some of the frogs we put in the pond left?

Gray treefrogs can survive with just a water bowl. They don't need a half flooded enclosure. The more water in an enclosure the more likely the prey insects will drown.

For those little guys, you're going to need to get fruit flies or some other tiny feeder insects. You will also need to use an enclosure that fruit flies can't escape from. I would use a "critter keeper", with a paper towel in between the top and the rest of the enclosure. This prevents fruit fly escape and allows for good ventalation (very important for treefrogs) and the passing of water. Fruitflies can be purchased on line from Black Jungle or Ed's Flymeat. They can also be purchased at Petco.

Since i cant put tap water in with the tadpoles can i take water out of my turtle tank to fill the tadpole tank a little? (i havent put tap into the turtle tank for weeks) The water in the turtle tank is pretty clean and clear too.

[Kurt]

You can dechlorinate tap water with a water conditioner found in every pet store. That will make the water safe for your amphibians.

can i do it just for a temp thing, cant make it to pet store til later tonight.

It's ashame my dad threw out the stuff for that like 3 weeks ago

or will they be fine in 2" water til later?

[Kurt]

They will be fine in two inches of water no problem, as long as the water is somewhat clean. But do get out and get some conditioner.
