I didn't know pet stores sold bullfrogs. They're going to get huge! I used to have two bullfrogs.
How big are they? They may sprout legs soon (the back legs will come in first), but it can actually take up to two years for bullfrogs to fully develop though I suspect it's quicker in captivity because they don't have the water freezing and such...
If you feed them mice, put it on land. It could drown in the water and more than likely, the frogs won't eat anything dead.
Let me know if you have any more questions!

Great! Sounds like they're healthy so far. I wouldn't mix the goldfish and the tadpoles. It's definently possible that having them live in each others water could cause problems. How big is the tank they're in? Do you have a filtering system in it? Also, once the frogs are grown and start eating, they will probably eat the goldfish.

Depending on the weather, it could take up to two years! Bullfrogs take a really long time to develop. As long as you're feeding him and keeping his water clean he should be okay, but it may take a while. Warmer weather might make him grow faster, but it just depends. Good luck.

Aw. That is such a tragic tale! Maybe you can get a duplicate of one of the ones you already have to send him.
I have a bunch of inanimate frogs too - mostly statues. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay here!

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.

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.
