Can you use tap water for tadpoles?

First of all, do NOT use tap water for tadpoles. It is a much better idea to leave your tadpole in the water that it came with than to use any kind of tap water. If you notice that the bottle says 'purified water', or even distilled water, it is in MOST cases O.K. to use that water until you can get some spring water.

What do I feed a caught frog?

While crickets are the most common frog food, it is important to offer your frog a varied diet, including grasshoppers, locusts, mealworms, and, for some larger species, small mice. You can buy live reptile food at your local pet store to feed your frog, or you can raise your own crickets to cut down on cost.
