Tadpole

Try putting skeeter larvae in there for him, which can be found in disgusting people's rain barrels. That frog isn't meant to eat leaves at any point, you better go find tiny insects of any sort.

Arent most tadpoles herbivorous until maturity?

>>2416426
Oh, I don't know. I always figured they ate larvae and little bugs. You have to Google that, I don't really know, and it might vary by species. I guess if he's eating it, he must want it.

Tapdoles are herbivorous until the back legs come in, at which point the mouth widens and they start eating small invertebrates (while also still consuming plant matter).

Tadpoles are hardy as fuck, this should be easy. Put it in a larger volume of water (to stabilize water chemistry), take out most of the leaves, you only want to add a tiny bit of leaf each day, and if you notice it has eaten all of it then up the amount.
Boiled organic spinach or lettuce will work as the main feedstock, with supplements of small boiled egg yolk chunks once a week. Keep an eye on water quality, and do water changes with dechlorinated water every few days, or it will die. The no chlorine thing is also really important, it fries the crap out of amphibians.

source; I raise amphibians as a hobby.

the water from my acqueduct is not chlorinated luckily also as i said i'm going to buy a larger container and some proper food, what should i do with it when it will become a frog? any other tip? I know that when they develop front legs they don't need more food because they metabolize the tail

I would release it near a pond where you found it. Raising baby frogs is a hassle mainly because of the food requirements. Fruit flies are the go-to but it is hard to actually get enough in the container where the frog will go after them. It is really easy to lose them to starvation.

This guy is right. Shit, grade-schoolers raise tadpoles for science class successfully. You're a grown ass dude. You can handle it, OP.

They have specialized teeth for scraping algae off of rocks. He'll do that until the back legs form, then give him little mealworms or things like that.

Tadpoles eat algae from ponds. You could easily buy some algae wafers for your buddy at the pet store, but I suggest following what >>2416437 said.

Tadpoles transition from gills to lungs when they morph. This may be the delicate stage you are thinking of. https://www.reddit.com/r/Awwducational/comments/6ht9iy/when_tadpoles_metamorphose_into_frogs_they_cease/

Goat eyes are hella scary too.

I took a tadpole to school as a class pet once. It went really well until we left for a three day weekend. I think he developed lungs and drowned because he was a pretty advanced pollywog by that point.

Once a week I replaced his aquarium water with a two liter fresh dirty pond water from where I caught him, full of tiny floating shit for him to eat. It seemed to work well enough.
