From Egg to Tadpole to Frog Morphing Stages of African Dwarf Clawed Frog Eggs from Pet Store Frogs short film from my experience raising tadpoles. Sadly, even under warm water conditions of 80˚ F and fresh sprinkled food and water, only a small percentage of these tadpoles reach maturity into frog form. Others may have much greater success in raising them than I did. I felt bad I wasn't more successful. It all started when the male and female frogs I bought at Petsmart, gave off fertilized eggs.
