I have some common toad eggs, incubating(?) in my bedroom as i was told they hatch faster warmer so theyre indoors...
I had common FROG tadpole before and everyone lived...i has like 25 or so, i was about 10 then im sure i can do it now! :)
I know the ''put them back where you got them'' etc are coming...but sorry guys my mind is made up!! :)
I wanna see how you setup enclosures for them and if anyone kept toadlets i want to keep 1-2 for a while afterwards!! Any info...Welcome! :)

You can't beat a moist nicely planter aquarium. The toads I have hatched were very tiny, maybe 1cm in length.They will eat anything that moves, including each other. Good luck. I hope they hatch for you.

This is my very basic set-up for my tadpoles. Its just a medium size plastic tube. I cut out 2 sections of the lid for the filter and for the lights to shine through, then I put a screen on top of the lid for the lights, one is a white tube light and the other is a black uv light. I of course have a aquarium filter and heater, I also have a rock hide that the water lands on to hopefully produce more oxygen. The temp stays at 22.22 degrees celsius. I have 7 tadpoles all with there back legs already plus a few mystery snails to help with clean up and some feeder fish. I feed the tadpoles pellet food, boiled frozen lettuce and they will eat any feeder fish that dies.

This is my tank once they become frogs. Nothing fancy, a little swimming area and some land. I have a small filter and heater in there but they are not really needed, I am just trying to make things easy for myself. I had to move the snails and tadpoles in this one for a few days and one of the snails layed 2 clutches of eggs which you can see in the pic.

I took what I read and what a few members one here told me and I figured out what worked for me. This is what you should do as well, take in the information and figure out what works best for you...
