Hello.
Ive had about 30 tadpoles for a little over a month. They’re starting to grow legs. One has completely formed though. Its still very small.

Here are some pictures



Tadpoles

The formed one.




I was thinking they were American toads, because Ive had American toad tadpoles and they looked like this before. The formed one climbs the walls of its cage all the time. Ive went to replace his water once and he was almost at the very top.


Thanks for any help in advance,
Dustin

WOW!!! That is incredibly small. I thought my fbts were small (thumb nail size) when I got them. As far as food I would guess flightless fruit flies should be small enough. I am not sure what kind they are but I do know that small toads/frogs like that can climb the glass-my fbts use to do it when they were smaller but now are too big to do so. Keep us updated with pics so we can watch them grow.

I have the same tads! About 20 of them. They are changing very slowly. The ones from the pond where i got mine have changed. someone told me they are american toads, i really have no idea. If i find out for sure, i’ll tell you. If you find out first let me know! Good luck with your babies! :)

yes i had 2 ponds in my back yard when i lived in texas and they were american toads. we had massive amounts of tadpoles and baby frogs and thats exactly what they look like from tadpole to baby frog and they eventually turned into american toads
