First off welcome, not only to Frog City but to the wonderful world of frogs. There's a page on raising tadpoles on the site and that should give you just about all the info you need until it reaches adult hood. I actually kept two adult bullfrogs for a short bit, but then realized the aquarium was nowhere near big enough to house them and they needed a LOT more food than I could give. They'll eat crickets and all when they're young, but once they're full size they eat smaller frogs and mice and such, so they can be a little hard to care for. Hope it all works out, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.  |

I am currently feeding fred(my tadpole) algae discs that i bought from petco. I cant tell if he has eaten any though. Should i try t ofeed him something else?
When he becomes a frog what type of habitat does he need and how big?

You might try feeding him crunched up rabbits pellets or stewed spinach. Egg yolks too. More here: www.politickles.com/frogcity/tadpoles.phpWhen he's an adult frog... he'll probably need a pretty big space... People usually release them into the wild, if you had a pond that would be ideal, but I don't know. I'd at least try for a 30 gallon tank or bigger, for full size at least. They get pretty big and do a LOT of swimming. |
