 Aaaaw! about 70 new tadpoles!

I have some tiny tadpoles and they’re only about 1 inch long. One of them already turned into a frog! I found out that they are leopard frogs. How come the frog is sooooo tiny(1 inch)?! I thought they were supposed to be 3 inches long? What are a list of things I can feed the frog?

I’ll try to post some pics later [:

What should I feed these little cuties(once they absorb their tails)? I’m pretty sure they’re leopard frogs.

they look like wood frogs to me. Feed them bloodworms for now, but when they get bigger they’ll eat crickets.

It’s still tiny because it’s still a baby frog, they can take months to years to reach full size. When the tail’s completely gone it’ll eat tiny crickets, small earthworms, guppies, basically anything alive that is about the size of the space between the frog’s eyes or smaller. And for crickets, you need a calcium supplement powder to sprinkle on them like twice a week before feeding to the frog. And when their young frogs, they should eat every day.

They are wild caught, but can i feed them frozen bloodworms or blackworms? Do you think they’ll even eat them?

KOvet, I just answered this on the frog forum, just so you know.

dsglisw, see if you can google local frogs in the area. Usually you can find out what’s native that way.
