I was trying my luck as raising some tadpoles I caught in my pool. I had toads, tree frogs and cubans....the cubsn ate most the of the others, I took the remaining cubans and put them in with my goldfish tank and about 15 of them lived out of the 20....This morning as I was feeding them one of the tadpoles walked up the side of the glass, but he still has a long tail, but 4 feet. The others are still tadpoles and back legs only, he grew first.
What do I do with him, what kind of cage to put him in, I know I just can't let him go out in the backyard like this, but I don't want him to get out of the tank and dry up....
PLease , I really didn't think they would make it to adults as this was my first try.

Well you will need a tank with a slope to land so that they can crawl out. The tads need to be fed, try some ground up fish flakes, just a little bit. For the ones coming out, they will not eat until their tails are fully absorbed into their bodies, then they will need pinhead crickets.
Make sure the water is dechlorinated, or bottled spring water.
You may be able to do a search on google for raising tadpoles (insert the type if you know) to get better help. But WTG! Many have trouble when they are actually trying and it is just happening for you!
