The tadpoles can be raised on finely crushed flakes, frozen or freeze dried fish food.Initially they require very small foods such as aphids, fruit fly, whiteworm, hatchling crickets, bloodworm and hatchling waxworm which should be offered as regularly as possible.Blood worms seem the best idea, just drop some of it in the tadpoles tank and they will eat it, just not to much or it will get dirty fast. I've heard that it takes about 5 weeks from tadpoles to little froglets. And if they have little arms they are probaly a week old. SO maybe 4 weeks but it all depends on heat the more heat the faster to grow but to much can kill them.
