Ok - great, crickets and small bugs when tail is absorbed - and then the guilt of letting it go out and get eaten after I have worked so hard to get the cute 'lil tadpole into a frog! sheesh! Can I get some pointers on how to keep him?

I've read keeping the sides misted to keep the humidity up, and now bugs - but what about his 'living conditions'? Should I have a sandy/beach like area along with rocks and some sort of vertical stuff (examples would be helpful here)? What about water -water in a water dish or keep a low level of water in the tank and make sure the sand/rocks/etc sit above the water level on one side?

He is currently only in a small fish aquarium that is 7.5" X 7.5" - would that be big enough?

Now my only question left is what about the other 75 tadpoles in the 20 gallon aquarium that are steadily moving toward frogdom? I guess I could have a big party and send one froglet home with each guest

otis07 - despite my intended friendly 'sarcasm' I do appreciate your assistance!

Here is my latest pic of Clyde - his hind legs can now almost reach the bottom when he sits like this - and his little tiny toes are soo cute!
