    I have lots of tadpoles from my pet fire bellied toads. This is the first season she's layed eggs, but I have about 50-80 of all different sizes. Depending on where you live I could send some to you. Otherwise you could ask at your local pet stores. Sometimes other people who are trying to adopt out animals leave messages at the pet stores. That's what I did at my local pet store. There are also other sites that offer tadpoles through the mail, but they are not usually fire bellies. They are usually clawed frogs, which are also fun to watch grow. You can research Xenopus on the internet and their are several sites that will mail them. These will become the clawed frogs, that are often advertised as "grow a frog". I hope this helps!

    idk that u can find the tadpoles online. what u can do is go to ur local pet store and just get a tadpole of either a leopard frog or other simple frogs. they look very nice and dont have hte same risk of rash that the fire belllied toads have. they can leave a rash because they have a toxin in hteir skin. so for a seven year old who will inevitably be holding the frog, try a different type id say. there are many to choose from.
