My advice would be to return the taddies to the pond when they start to hatch from the eggs, toad tadpoles are terribly hard to raise.
To warm of water and they die, to many of them in an area and they die, to much food and they die. When they do become toadlets they are smaller then the tadpoles once formed, you'll be feeding them fruit flies (the only thing they'll eat at that size) and not all of them will get enough. They are absoutly voracious.
Good luck with whatever you do, but expect a 75%-85% kill rate if you keep them.
