Instead of making derogatory remarks to whalelover, why not either give any knowledge or advice you may have to help out or simply state you feel they'd be better off being released and leave it at that? I try to stay out of these types of situations but the nastiness I see a lot nowdays towards people seeking help here has truly discouraged me the past few months.

Whalelover, I really don't know anything about the proper raising of tadpoles. I do remember me and my mom catching 3 out of a little mud puddle one time when I was still quite young (9 or so I think). One of them didn't make it, but the other two turned into little frogs and we released them. They were very tiny, I think little spring peepers. I remember only that we kept them in a shallow container with a little rock cave and we put out an old coffee can to catch rain when it rained and used that for water changes etc. I imagine we were probably mostly lucky that they made it since we knew nothing about what we were doing, but to this day I remember how excited and thrilled I was to watch them grow and become little frogs. I wish you the best with your little tadpoles
