How quickly do tadpoles turn into frogs?

Answer by  Audrey86 (261)

In most cases, it will take about six to twelve weeks for the tadpoles to completely develop into frogs. The most influential factor is actually the temperature they are living in. The colder the water is, the longer it will take to develop. In fact, if it's cold enough, it can take over six months!

Great question! It depends on the type of frog in many cases. Some it only takes a few weeks while others can take up to 2 years to transform from tadpoles into frogs.

It depends on the species and even within the species the time can vary. Some take 6 or so weeks while others can take up to 9 months. Temperatures under 68 degrees can prolong the process a few months.
