My father brought home some tadpoles from a local pond as a surprise for me. Boy was it! I read up on basic care and have a small take with pond water, some boiled lettuce, and a dry perch.



The tads do well until they get to that in between stage. They keep dying right as they crawl out onto the rock. They have all four legs but still have a little tail.



I've provided fruit flies for them. And I don't think they are starving because I've read that they'll survive off their tail until it's gone. Any help would be great. I've got about 4 leopard frogs and two gray treefrog tads left.
