Ok, To make this simple, I got about 5 tadpoles from my teacher in science class. His are still tadpoles and still eat algae. I was told to feed it algae on a previous yahoo answers. But now I have the tadpole has 4 legs and barely a tail left. These have been born in captivity before we picked them up out of the lake so they dont know what to do in the wild. I need to know what a proper tank should have. (right now i have 2 rocks. 1 with algae and another out of water. He likes going to the one out of the water.) The last one we had died. and we dont want this one to. So what should we feed him? Thats all I basicly need to know. Could small ants work? My mom said she knows where they are. Also he is about a inch long. So if you know what kind of toad this is, it will help a lot. Even an idea for it. So that you for reading!!!!
Frogs and toads hunt for food primarily on land. It needs insects and other small invertebrates to eat,ants are not good food. You can't just have a rock for it to sit on it needs land. If you try to feed it on a rock the food will jump into the water and be gone. It doesn't matter that the eggs hatched in captivity, they still know how to survive free. Nobody can tell you what kind of "toad" you have. If the eggs were in strings they were toad eggs and if they were in a blob they were frog eggs. Your Clue about an inch long well that fits almost every single frog on earth at some point in it's life. Where did it come from? What color is it's back,bottom, chin, legs, etc? Does it have spots?
