I need to no what to feed them they are allmost ready to come out of the water. O and does any one have a pic so I can double check that it is a spring peeper. Iam in ontario Canada.

Are there spring peepers in Canada? I doubt it, since they're here in Florida, but who knows?

Anyway, what color is the frog? Patterns? What do the toes look like and is the skin rough and bumpy or smooth?

If you can describe the frog, I'll try to find some information (although someone will probably beat me to it that knows more about froggies up there) to hopefully ID the guys. I know your frustration in not knowing!

It would be helpful if you described them a bit...

Yes, they can be found in southern Canada! These links have information about peepers, their range, and some photos of them. I hope they help!
