I have a gelatinous roll of what I'm almost positive are eggs. I've heard a few different methods for caring for them, but last time I had eggs they only shriveled up into nothing. If somebody could explain to me the best way to care for these eggs so that they will hatch, it will be much appreciated.
The eggs should be transferred to another aquarium. After 3 days at 24ºC (77ºF) the eggs will hatch. For another 3 days, while consuming the yolk sac, the tadpoles don't move around at all. After that they'll begin swimming around, trying to find something to eat.
The tadpoles can be raised on finely crushed flakes, frozen or freeze dried fish food.
The hind legs will begin to break through about 3 weeks after the eggs hatched and the 'arms' will begin to appear about a week later. Five weeks after hatching, the first frogs will go through metamorphosis and will be ready to leave the water.
The froglets will eat any kind of small insects and larvae. They'll be ready to breed before they are a year old. The eggs of younger and smaller females tend to be fewer and smaller in size.

How do you take care of baby toads?
Put them in a basement window well or indoor tank. Window wells are great places for them to be. Make sure to keep some water in there at all times in a bowl (one that is small enough for them to climb into, or push it under the ground ), or spray them with the hose everyday. Be careful not to squeeze them at all. Baby toads like pond water, and tiny ants. To attract bugs, place small pieces of food in an area in your yard. Than Bring the bugs and put them in the window well or aquarium. 🙂

Question – I have a little baby toad, and i wanted to know how to take care if it. It has a little red spot on the side of its throat, but i think a bug just bit it. I wanted to know what to feed it, what to put it in and how to just take care of it in general.
Answers:
Try to Google search and find images that match the type you have.
I had a burrowing frog who spent most it’s time underground. It ate baby crickets but it was fussy and uncomfortable and I had to force feed it for the first week.
Get it comfy in it’s habitat. Give organic potting soil (2 inches deep?) and put water into it so that it’s moist but not pooling underneath, it may take some time to absorb and get started, place a large soaking bowl in the center of a 10 gal tank for it to bathe, keep the temp warm but don’t use direct heat, do a heating pad on the side of the tank where it won’t get itself burnt, but it will get the heat.
Once it’s feeling safe, and oh, don’t handle it after placing it into it’s tank, just let it get a sense of ownership in there. Then put 2 small crickets and a tiny inch worm or a baby tomato worm. http://mulberryfarms.com/orders.htm I get tomato worms here.
The heat pad will give a nice temp, the dirt and water will feel natural, it takes time for a wild one but it might turn out to be a great thing.
You will also need to shop around for an exotic animal vet to check it out so that you won’t be catching something disgusting like pinworms from it.
