My Dwarf frog laid eggs. I collected them in a cup with water, but now I don't know how to care for the tadpoles. They are tiny, and I'm positive they are alive. I don't know how to feed them, since they are basically tiny specs, does anyone know what I should do?
I have some frog pellets and I crushed them up, do you think they will be small enough?
Tropical Fish Flakes is ok or cut up some tubaflix/blood worms up and through it in the tank.

About TriciaI've been fascinated by reptiles and amphibians since childhood and I've been working with them since 1995. I've been helping with their pets for more than 15 years via my websites and blogs and in person.

bowl of water w/ plants in it? i believe the eat like plant matter/algea..im sure you can feed them the baby fish food. i would have said to leave in w/ the frog, but im sure you have a filtration system-and you dont want them sucked up into it.
just a bucket of water -dechlorinated of course- should be fine. i raised tadpoles and just turned off my filtration and had an air stone for water movement.

my advice is to take them to a near by petco or petsmart : they carry frogs tadpoles fish ( sea animals) try that!

i really dont know wht to do but the bst bet would be to put plants in there and let them eat the algea and i would put their mother in with them….

The tadpoles are predatory from birth – fish food won't cut it.
Get some baby brine shrimp and check out this site:
