How long did you wait for your tadpoles to undergo metamorphosis? The timing is species dependent. Some will only take a month or two from hatching to metamorphosis, and others can take a full year. Water temperature can also affect the rate of metamorphosis, with cooler temperatures slowing the process.
I have no way to know if you're crazy though.  With all the odd things around on the internet, who knows, maybe you did read something...doesn't mean it was right.

Yeah I fed them and the water was probably a little cold, but I live in Florida so it couldn't have been too bad.
I had them in there a while. My uncle gave them to me. I wanted them because they were so big. They were the biggest tadpoles I'd ever seen.
I put them in a big container and left them outside with a covering over it partly and fed them stuff.
Since they were big when I got them, I assumed they were close to metamorphosis. Maybe I was wrong. I had them for maybe a little less than a year.
And assuming everything you read on the internet is correct, then I'd have to be crazy if it turned out not to be true.
