Lets see...for caging you can use what you have now for a few weeks, but I would just put him in a 10 gallon if you decide to keep him for more than a month or so. For substrate, dirt with a few inches of leaf litter, maybe a potted plant or two, glass lid with some kind of light (can be ambient). Have a small waterdish or water area in the tank, (dechloronated water), but make it easy for him to get out so he doesn't drown. thats about it for housing, you can take plants from outside, moss, ferns, whatever, and put a few sticks or something in. i wouldn't use sand, most frogs don't like when substrate get stuck to them.

why don't you just release the tads? if you do plan to release them the sooner the better, they can't get used to no predators, being handfed, same time every day... if you want them them keep some, but if not then you should let them go soon.
