I was amazed to discover at the pet shop last week that you can buy tadpole food.  This gives the tadpoles more chance of survival, as, if there is a lack of food, they will 'turn carnivorous' and eat each other.

I started a thread about tadpoles a little while back.  This is the advice I was given regarding their eating habits.

Tadpoles don't need feeding, and if they run short of food, it means there are too many of them in a small space. But people will pay to feed anything these days.

When I was a kid. We always had a jar of tadpoles in the classroom and we gave them a pinch of raw mince from the butcher each week.

Thousands became frogs and were released in the school field.
