Frog questions, please answer! :)?
Hello! So I have an interesting question!
I got some frog eggs from a little pond close to my house, My family has experience with raising frogs. But my mom told me I was old enough to do everything myself this time. So I had some questions about them! I looked up most of these and all I got was pages of miscellaneous info that I had to dig through to find answers I needed. I thought this would be easier!!
1. Im not sure how far along they are, but how long does it take them to hatch from the beginning?
2. How long will they be tadpoles before they are frogs?
3. I got a lot of eggs, are they ALL going to hatch? I got a lot because I figured some wouldn’t hatch or were not fertile. Is that true, will only some hatch? Or am I going to have like 30 frogs??
4. I know they eat little bugs, my family already has crickets for our lizard, can I feed the frogs small crickets?
I know some of these might be stupid. But its been a while sense I have had frogs like these kind and I just had to know, lol!! thanks in advance!

1. It completely depends on what type of frog they will be.
2. Depends mostly on the frog type, average for most is around 100-150 days.
3. Most will most likely hatch and become tadpoles. Fewer tadpoles will make it to become frogs, but you will still end out with a good number. Releasing some as tadpoles will be fine since they are native to your location (unless you want to care for them all).
4. Baby frogs will be microphagous. Some frogs, such as the poison dart frog, will always be microphagous. Most baby frogs will accept flightless fruit flies or 1/16 inch true pinhead crickets.
