Hey guys,
this is the first time i checked out this forum, looks good!
I went herping at the pond up the street and came home with a bunch of tadpoles. I am kinda bummed out because 2 were nearly fully metamorphosized into little dime sized wood frogs, and died really suddenly, within an hour of eachother. They were the cutest little things! I had them in a bucket full of pond water until they metamorphosized, then i changed the water to dechlorinated tap water and added a land area made of rocks, which they seemed to like. Then they just died. I had no idea what they ate, which might have caused their death, but they still had a little bit of tail to absorb.
In that bucket now i have maybe 15 - 20 little 1" long black tadpoles with no arms/legs yet, and i have maybe... a dozen that are longer than 2" long, all of which have sprouted legs, some about to sprout arms. Some of them are clearly wood frog tadpoles, with the mask starting to get darker and striped legs, but the others are different. They are the same size and color, but have no mask. Got any idea what they and the tiny ones are? They are in a 2 gal bucket, i'm gonna get a bigger rubbermaid tub. Anyway, i need some replies QUICK so that when the tads metamorphosize they dont just die like the other.. 
My sister and I are gonna keep 2 or 3 of the less skittish ones and let the rest go at the pond (i learned to do so at a post farther down.) And last, how should i care for the wood frogs? What size tank, what kind of setup, food, etc... I have some frog experience, i have a whites treefrog, but i can tell these will be quite different, and i will IN NO WAY house them with my treefrog!!!!
Thank you!

P.S. what do grey treefrog tads look like?
