Why Choose Milk Frog Tadpoles?
- Easy to raise – Milk Frog tadpoles adapt well to simple setups, feeding on fish flakes, spirulina, and prepared diets.
- Amazing transformation – Watch them sprout legs, absorb their tails, and climb out of the water as froglets in just a few weeks.
- Beautiful adult frogs – Known as “Amazon Milk Frogs,” adults boast bold grey-blue patterns, golden eyes, and powder-blue toes.
How to Raise Them
Keep your tadpoles in clean, dechlorinated water with gentle aeration and a steady temperature (24–27 °C). As metamorphosis begins, provide easy exits like cork bark or floating platforms. Once froglets emerge, they’ll need a safe, bioactive grow-out setup before moving into their long-term vivarium.

This complete kit includes everything from deli cups and tadpole food to a bioactive tub with springtails—designed specifically to take your tadpoles all the way through metamorphosis.

🙋 FAQ – Milk Frog Tadpoles for Sale
Q: How long do Milk Frog tadpoles take to become froglets?
A: At typical UK room temperatures with slight heating (24–27 °C), Milk Frog tadpoles usually metamorphose in 6–10 weeks. Warmer conditions within the safe range speed things up slightly, while cooler water slows development.
Q: What do Milk Frog tadpoles eat?
A: They readily eat a variety of foods including spirulina flakes, algae wafers, and powdered amphibian or fish diets. As they grow, you can supplement with blanched greens and specialist tadpole foods.
Q: How many should I buy?
A: We recommend keeping several tadpoles together, as they are social and active. This also increases the chance of raising both males and females, giving you a better mix as adults.
Q: What size do Milk Frogs grow to?
A: As adults, Amazon Milk Frogs reach around 6–8 cm (2.5–3.5 inches). They are medium-sized arboreal frogs and do well in vertically orientated vivariums.
Q: Do I need special equipment to raise tadpoles?
A: A simple aquatic setup with clean, conditioned water is enough for the tadpole stage. For the transition to land, we recommend pairing your tadpoles with our Tadpole Growout Kit + Grow-Out Tub, which provides everything needed for a safe metamorphosis.
Q: Are Milk Frogs good for beginners?
A: Yes! Milk Frogs are hardy and forgiving. Raising them from tadpoles is not only educational but also one of the easiest ways to get started with amphibians.
