I found some tadpoles in the delawarer river sunday, some of them turned into adults and i still can't id them. Please help.

I really cannot tell, but more than likely Leopard Frogs.

Rana pipiens? They eat boiled lettuce if it helps.

Bump

They look like American Toads to me.

 

[Sylvias]

Yeah I was thinking toad of some sort as well, they certainly don't look like leopard frogs.

 

[COG Commando]

I agree. Bufo americanus

 

[fish042099]

Ok. How do I breed them? Would that be possible?

You would have to raise them to some measure of adulthood first. Shouldn't require too many "conditions" to breed American toads.

They are american toads for sure. Any amphibian is tough to breed. If you do not have experience with them, then I would not attempt it. These guys are not tropical and benefit from a period of hibernation and need a wet and dry period to breed. It is a lot of work. Get some experience raising them and keeping them alive first.
