IOU1 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I haven't had to feed tadpoles but I have heard that they can be taught to eat fishfood. Also, maybe those mozzie larvae things might work. Can I ask if there were any yellow tadpoles?? :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayci Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I remember years ago being able to buy tadpole food at the LFS. Small tablets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 stick with the lettuce,flake foods etc will most likely lead to foul water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 try feeding them shelled peas, and when they start growing legs give them animal protein like shrimp pellets. I used to breed frogs when I was a kid and hand thousands of tadpoles. I fed them cat biscuits, people could say that they spoil the water but they worked for me...
