How can you buy a tadpole overline?, cause my son wants a tadpole-frog?


Answers:
Grow a frog has a website and sells them and "homes" for them. Also check out some of the different frog groups on Yahoo groups, I belong to a couple of them and have seen where some people will send you one if you pay for the shipping. I have an Albino African Clawed Frog, it's lots of fun to watch. My kids just love it. And these frogs live for a really long time, mine is about 3 years old but some people in the group have them that are 10-20 years old.
look in the wet lands there might be some
Since you didn't realize that frogs are amphibians, not reptiles, I suggest you do more research on caring for your pet. In most states, it is illegal to just go out and capture a frog/tadpole. They don't sell tadpoles online-you'd have to get a frog. I personally prefer to see the animal, check it's eyes/mouth/skin/etc to make sure it's healthy, and then get it as soon as I pay for it at a local pet store.
Check the edges of ponds they are usually loaded with them. You can get him quite a few that way. It is wonderful watching them grow into little tiny frogs. I used to bring them home in a ice cream bucket.
If you go here or any one of a number of elementary science sites you will find kits for hatching out frogs eggs. They are a great learning experience and will supply everything you need to grow healthy young frogs and teach your son about them too.

Here are a few places if you eliminate the spaces

I seen some on ebay.
I have never seen a tadpole for sale. If you really want a tadpole you'll have to go to a local river, pond, creek etc. and catch one or two.
i have one, they are so fun! i got mine at a local pet store I hope you find a tadpole
If you would want a frog that is totally aquatic like fish once it has morphed then you can go to www.growafrog.com and get a tadpole from them. If you choose this route do not buy anything else from them except for tadpole food which will be a fine powdered food. If you do this please come join my group for african clawed frogs at http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/afric...
there are many of us who have raised these tadpoles and can help you with want you will need to care for it to grow up and be a happy healthy frog. Please do not buy the tanks that grow a frog will try and talk you into buying. When african clawed frogs are full grown each frog needs 7-10 gals of water so you would be better of purchasing a 10 gal. tank right away to put the tadpole in. You will only fill the 10 gal tank half way full while it is a tadpole. Feed it the powdered food twice a day. You will need to run a air stone on low in the tank while it is a tadpole. Once it gets it's arms and legs it will start absorbing it's tail. You don't feed it during this time. Once it is a froglet you can then fill the tank up except for leaving a 2 inch space at the top as they can jump out if the tank is full. You will then need a filter on the 10 gal tank and it should be a filter for atleast a 20 gal. tank. With these frogs you need to over filter as they can poop a lot depending on what you feed them.
Like I said if you choose this type of frog please only get the tadpole and powdered tadpole food from grow a frog. They will rip you off saying their tanks are all they frog will ever need and that is not true. Please join my group if you decide to get a african clawed frog and we will help you thru the process of the tadpole morphing.
you can look up frog breaders all i no is they are not expencive probly $5.00 for about 50 of them i would by more than one they might end up dyeing
