I am raising tadpoles and I found mine at a small pond, and they are doing fine. I think pond water is best, but whatever you do, dont use tap water. Some tap water has chlorine in it that can harm the tadpoles

Why do tadpoles come up for air?

Tadpoles need to come up for air because they have gills, which are not as efficient in extracting oxygen from the water as lungs are in extracting it from the air. By coming up for air at the water's surface, tadpoles can supplement the oxygen they obtain through gills with oxygen from the air.

If tadpoles have front and back legs can they come out of water?

Yes, once tadpoles have developed into frogs with front and back legs, known as froglets, they are capable of leaving the water. Froglets still require moisture and access to water, but they can survive on land for extended periods of time.


I have got some tadpoles how do you look after them?

I am an expert on frogs and tadpoles. This is how to look after tadpoles: Don't give the tadpoles tap water because in that water there are 2 chemicals ( Fluoride and Chlorine ) that kill the tadpoles. So you should use either rain water or water from the creek/pond/river you got them from. If you want to use tap water, leave it out in full sunlight for 7 days. The chlorine and fluoride will evaporate. Tadpoles like to eat boiled lettuce that has been boiled for about 15 minutes. They also like to eat bread crumbs and fish food. Tadpoles grow faster in warm water. In cold water, they will still grow, but they will grow slower. When the tadpoles develop legs, put about 2 or 3 rocks( Depends on how many tadpoles you have) in the container. Put something on the top of the cointainer ( prefeably some sort of mesh ) so the froglets don't jump out.
