so we got these tadpoles about a month or so ago maybe more and they were pretty big. The petstore randomly got them with a shipment of goldfish and they were in it and they just gave the frogs to us for free. They had no clue what kind of frogs they were. There are 2 and one looks like a fullout frog just with a little shriveled tail that i alotttt smaller then the others. Today i put my hand in the tank because hes always at the top with his head kinda out so im thinking he should be taken out of the huggggeeeee tank thats very deep and into a shallow one with rocks so he can come out of water? Thanks guys :) and are they able to be handled?
 
kinda looks like a bull frog tad

I was thinking that to from what i have seen in photos but im still not sure about it. Aswell as the other things ive asked
 
They look like American bullfrogs to me, too. Any shots that show the back?

Yes, that would be ideal.

It's best not to handle frogs. They have sensitive skin. Move them with a net or by shooing them into a container. If you must handle them, wet your hands first and be sure you don't have soap, lotion, etc. on your hands.
 
Water treatment goes the same, as with fish.
 
keep the water at around 78-80ºF and give it land to climb out on or else it will not metamorphosis into a frog. Looks like either a bull frog or pig frog just based on size but tadpoles are very difficult to get a positive ID on.
