My dwarf underwater frogs layed eggs, and the eggs hatched. How do I care for the tadpoles!

My book says feed them zooplankton. Try some flake fish food very finely crushed until you can get the plankton, because it's better than not feeding them at all. And you are better off moving the adults unless you already moved the eggs, so as to not stress them out. And let me know how many tads you have, I would like to know. And see if you can get pics of them.

This gets hard, Mine did the same. anyway try to get some frog and tadpole bites from the local pet store or a similer frog pellet food, grund and mush it up add water and put it in a syrenge. Oh and before all this separate them from the parents as the parents will eat them. Very few people can raise African Dwarf Frogs from egg to frog so good luck but don't get your hopes up
