Also collect about five gallons of pond water. Add aquarium gravel and the weeds from the pond, making sure to bury the plant s roots under the aquarium gravel. Find a large rock that will stick out of the water about an inch or so. A rock with a nice flat surface is preferred. As the tadpoles develop their legs they will want to climb up on the rock to practice hopping.
Tadpoles enjoy hopping on the rock and diving back into the water.
Garden and pet supply stores both sell commercial food you can sprinkle into the tank for them to eat. But feeding tadpoles goldfish flakes works nicely too. You can also attract live food for them to catch themselves. Hang a banana peel over the edge of the tank. The banana peel will attract fruit flies for the baby frogs to catch with their tongues.
