im not very knowledgable about tadpoles/frogs but i would setup a small tank with land and water///// that way it can decide when to come on land and hop around.
sounds like a good idea. (the whole land/water thing) but you bought a tadpole? do i dare ask how much? wow, i used to go get them from a stream that i have that runs through my neighborhood back when i was in school and i had to collect some for science class. although, needless to say, the poor critters never ended up to the hopping stage.

Well, if it's growing front legs, it's nearing its end to its tadpole stage and I would make the tank half land and half water so it can decide to hop on land when it wants to. I watched toads still with their tails hop on land and was the greatest sight. And I wouldn't try to feed it when it gets its front legs because its tail becomes its nutrition.
