i just was at my brother's school's market fair thing- where kids can set up stands and sell things, to practice their entrapaneurship (i spelled that wrong, :'] ) skills. there was a stand full of toys, and there were four jars of tadpoles being sold for $2 like goldfish at a fair. my alarm bells went off and i bought them all- however, i know nothing about frogs ^^'
all i know about them is that they're five days old, and i'm guessing they're northern red-legged frogs- based on the ones commonly around my area and that they match what the tadpoles look like, from what i can tell. they came with a small jar of tiny white flakes/orbs for food, i have no idea what it is.
i have one question for the most part, would it be better to keep them or release them? the people selling them found them at a creek (i do know the name, so i could probably release them back there if needed) as eggs, and took them and hatched them in captivity. would they have a better chance of surviving back at the creek or continuing to keep them in captivity?
if anyone has any other information that i should know as well, it's much much appreciated! also, if there are any good frog forums that someone knows of, please tell- i tried getting to frogforum.net but the site was down, so any others are great!

edit to say they've all passed
i'm so sad, but i suppose it's a bit inevitable. they're finnicky little creatures </3
but the others are doing great!
