Mixed Tadpoles?!?

lil_frogger2 Jun 18, 2003 12:59 PM

My old elementary teacher gave me three tadpoles and a tadpole that had just turned into a frog. She couldn't take care of them anymore. They're all wildcaught. So anyways, I set up a home for the frog, and made a seperate little home for the tadpoles. Since then, I've had one more tadpole morph into a frog. But there's one thing wrong, they look different. They were all captured in the same place, so if they were taddies togetehr and their species lived really close together in the wild, can I mix them? Or at least keep them in the same cage until I find another one? They're about the size of a finger nail, if not smaller. And the cage is huge.

where were they caught? What do they look like? Any way of gatting a picture to post?

If by chance they are Leopard forgs and Green frogs they can be kept together. But most others can not be mixed. (I'm not sure but I think it might be ok while they are still tadpoles though)
