So I walked into a local pet establishment the other day looking for tadpoles because i have a terrarium and i enjoy to watch the whole process between frogs and tadpoles, and the store had what they were calling wood frog and lepoard frog tadpoles for sale for 8 dollars a piece and they were selling what were clearly bullfrog tadpoles has anyone else come across this and isn't there legal issues with situations like this? just wondering

I have never been to a store that sold tadpoles unless they were with the feeder fish, let alone labeled them as the breed of frogs.

Re: False Advertisement

Check with your local authorities, very likely illegal. Bullfrogs are considered a pest species by most places & if they are native it is very likely it is illegal to sell them, specially if they are being misrepresented as something else, Mark
