You can easily tell apart tadpoles of frogs and toads. Toad tadpoles are about a centimeter long, and are fat at the head, and get thinner out at the tail. They are black and look almost identical to minnows, which are fish babies once they come out of he egg. Frog tadpoles are completely different, and much bigger. Frog tadpoles are about an inch long, and are brown with tiny black speckles. Their heads are a little smaller than a quarter and their eyes are black and bulging, so you can see them well. With toad tadpole eyes, they blend in perfectly with the black body. The eggs of toads and frogs look pretty similar to each other. They both are tiny circular black balls with a thick coating over the egg made of clear jelly-like material used as food for the tadpole when they hatch. When the tadpoles hatch, they feast on the jelly-like material around the egg, and then they're on their own. After the egg jelly is gone, the tadpoles eat algae, which looks like brown mold. It grows around and collects inside ponds and wet areas such as swamps.

∙ 13y agoYou see frog eggs take up to 3 weeks to hatch while toad eggs take up to 6 weeks which is almost the only difference they have. My opinion on how they look like when they hatch is that they really look the same with no insignificant markings to show that they are different from one another. You understand?
