Title: tadpoles
Post by: brownthumb2 on March 17, 2019, 15:46:31

This is`t exactly pets but animals in my care,   I removed a bunch of frog spawn from my fish pond before the kohl ate it , its now hatched in to swimming tadpoles.   What can feed them on I was going to feed on dried dahnia  which my tropical fish eat  But I looked on line and it said not feed them this as they are vegetation's   When I was younger and had tadpoles as we did  my mum used to give me a piece of meat tried up with cotton to dangle over the edge of the container which they ate
