Tadpole care--

A Container :
A square aquarium is the best place to keep tadpoles and small frogs. If you don't have this, a bowl or plastic container will do. The easiest water to use is water from a local creek or pond, which will have algae in it that the tadpoles will eat. Or, treated water for fish can be purchased. Make sure that your water does not contain chlorine, because this will kill them. Salt water will also greatly harm your catch. Tap water can be used if it is left open for 5 to 7 days before being used for the tadpole. Dechlorinator drops are available at any pet shop if you want to make new water more quickly. Place rocks in the bottom of your container for the tadpoles, and if you can, collect some algae from the pond they were taken from to feed them.

Feeding :
In addition to the algae, you may have to make some food for your tadpoles. A piece of boiled lettuce or cabbage contains the same proteins as algae, so this can be placed in the tank. It is good to clean your tank after feeding, but avoid using any chemicals or soaps.

Watch Changes:
Your tadpoles will refuse food after a while, and instead eat their own tails. This is completely normal. The tadpole will undergo some changes that will let you know that a frog is on the way. Small legs will appear on the tadpole as they eat their tail. They will grow a set of lungs, and begin to breath with these. At this stage in the process, it is very important to provide a rock so that the tadpoles can stand out of the water. Their gills will no longer work, and they will drown without this.

Show and Tell :
When your tadpoles become frogs, show them off! Friends will be excited to see what you have raised. Avoid handling tadpoles roughly, or letting friends play with them. They will be very fragile.
Release Them !
