Where To Get Tadpoles


Tadpole Kit

One of the great way to learn about frog life cycle is to raise tadpoles at home. Until recently I did not know how popular raising tadpole was for many kids. It is fun, educational and if done right, easy enough if you follow a few tips. One of the big thing I get always asked is, where to get tadpoles? As many of us live in big cities, finding tadpoles is not always easy. But it does not have to be complicated if you just know where to look and ask. You can find various type of tadpole raising kit that will make your starting out easier, it does not have to be expensive but right tools and food so that you can raise life properly.

Finding tadpoles is easy, but gathering them can be a challenge sometimes. Never remove tadpoles from public areas such as parks, refuges or conservation areas. Ponds, small lakes and creeks are ideal places to catch tadpoles with a small mesh net. Always ask permission on private property. Don’t collect more tadpoles than your tank or aquarium can comfortably hold and never collect more than a few. Most important, know how to take care of tadpoles before you collect them.

Here are a few possible ways to get Tadpoles for seeing life cycle of frogs.

  1. First of all, if you live near creek, lake where you see frogs, that might be a good place to start getting tadpoles. Just make sure it is safe and legal for you to take tadpoles from lake area.
  2. Other thing to do is ask someone you know who might have many frogs in their large yard, they very well have hundreds of tadpoles and can share some with you.
  3. What to do, if you live where there are no creeks, lakes or people with ponds that have tadpoles? Do not worry, there are still a few ways to get tadpoles from online places or local pet stores.
