Answer 2

Purchase or assemble a small aquarium, of at least 5 gallons. Get a small, preferably internal filter. Dechlornate and age (24 hours at least) the water, and fill the tank about 1/2 -2/3 full of water, preferably using some water from the pond/lake where the tadpole came from. Feed the tadpole spirulina flake food that can be found at pet stores. You can find all the materials you need at www.bigalsonline.com

Keep it in a medium sized tank, a goldfish tank would do fine. You do not have to have a filter like fish do, but clean the water whenever it gets murky and smelly. The water MUST be dechlorinated. If not, the chlorine particles can kill your tadpole. Squirt in some dechlorinating droplets and wait 24 hours (1 day). If you have no dechlorinating droplets you can just leave the water out in the light and wait 5 days. DO NOT keep your tadpole in the pond water you got it from if the water is dirty or murky. If the pond is clean, you should STILL dechlorinate it, just in case. If you got it from a pond, take some of the pond weed too. It'll help oxygenate the water. Tadpoles eat all sorts of things: egg yolk, meat, scrambled eggs, fish food, lettuce, spinach, dog food, and each other! Don't overfeed or the water will get dirty and you'll have to clean it more often. When the tadpole is starting to get legs, put a big rock in the tank (the tip should be above the water), and a long, clean stick. This will give the tadpole something to climb on when they become froglets.

Answer 3

They need a container that's half land & half water.They need warmth so give them some heat from a lamp. However, they need some shade so give them a hiding place. They need clean,fresh, & aged or bottled water. Clean the water if it's dirty & top up as it evaporates. Tadpoles are herbivores & feed them a pinch of boiled lettuce, bits of fish flakes & a small amount of rabbit food. Feed them as much they can within a few minutes. When you see the tiny legs, give them somethig that easily gets them on land and water, DO NOT feed the tadpoles if they're changing. At this stage, they will absorb it's tail as food. By the time they're tiny froglets, they're carnivores. Feed them ONLY captive insects like mealworms because you may never know that certain wild insects have poison with them. Once - two twice a week, gut load your feeder insects. ONLY handle your frog on important purposes like cleaning or transporting. ALL amphibians hate handling.

Answer 4

if it is still a egg put it in a cup of dich water. if it is a tadpole put it in a bucket full of dich water and change the water when it starts to really stink. when a frog put it in a tank with rocks and sand and water or let it go

Answer 5

Keep the tadpole in a clean environment with dechlorinated water and plenty of space to swim. Feed them a diet of algae, boiled lettuce, or commercial tadpole food. Monitor their growth and development, ensuring they have access to clean water and appropriate water temperature.

Answer 6

Tadpoles can't breed. A tadpole is the immature shape of a frog. It has to grow into a frog Before it can breed.
