Answer 2

good question

Answer 3

If you give them fish food, it&#039;s usually best to break it up into powder before feeding.

I usually use the back of a spoon to grind the flakes into powder that the tadpoles can eat more easily.

Answer 4

lettuce

Answer 5

Tadpoles are herbivorous, meaning they eat plant matter. Can you get some of whatever was in the water you found them in?  (that would be what they&#039;re used to)

Or, find a pond and collect some of the green slippery growing stuff (algae) and see if that would please them.

Be careful to keep the water they&#039;re in well oxygenated, or they will suffocate.  Depending on how long you&#039;re planning to keep them, you may want to set up a small tank, complete with a bubbler for this purpose.

Tadpoles in a bowl and nothing else will die.

Answer 6

Try frozen (or cooked) chopped spinach. Also set a jar of tap water (open) in the sun. Within a couple of days, you should have a growth of algae started. You can use that to feed the tadpoles too.
