kaza Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I currently have 5 taddpoles inside they are feed on goldfish flakes.Tadpoles also like to graze on algae & plant leaves you can also give zucchini in small pieces, half a ripe tomato goes down very well to but be careful as it will foul the water quickly :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slevin12 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 put some lettuce under boiling water and it goes all mushy then feed it to them they loooove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaza Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've got 2 year old frogs plus 5 tadpoles lettuce is good I forgot about lettuce, one thing with feeding lettuce is to never give them iceberg lettuce thats the lettuce you can buy already packed there is something they use when growing/cleaning the lettuce that is poisioness to tadpoles :bounce: :bounce: :oops: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 It is poisonous to humans as well - but we are bigger, so just get a little sick ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naz_Nomad Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 But then chocolate is also poisonous to humans but we have to eat close to our body weight to get the full effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
