What do tadpoles eat to grow fast? Teach you how to raise tadpoles well

I believe everyone is familiar with the creature that is the tadpole; after all, we all grew up listening to the fairy tale of the little tadpoles looking for their mother. And it is precisely because of the influence of that fairy tale that, whenever conditions allowed, many of us have caught tadpoles to raise~ So, what do little tadpoles eat? How can you raise them well?

1. What tadpoles eat

Most tadpoles are omnivorous animals that use rows of keratinous teeth in their mouths to scrape and eat algae. Their plant diet is mainly algae and water weeds, tender shoots and fallen leaves, etc. Their animal diet is mosquito larvae, animal carcasses, earthworms, etc. You can also feed them some egg yolk or fish feed and such. But note, it must be cooked egg yolk.

2. How to raise tadpoles

1. Ensure high-quality water

The water in which tadpoles grow must be kept high in quality; do not let the water spoil, and you must set up land in the water so that during their development tadpoles can complete the development of their lungs. Be sure to remember this point.

2. Change the water frequently

Changing the water frequently is to ensure a constant supply of oxygen-rich water, and dead tadpoles and other leftover food debris must be removed promptly. Change the fresh water once every three or four days; river water is best, and be sure not to use well water.

3. Stop feeding at the right amount

Tadpoles are small to begin with, and they rely on the tiny bit of yolk left in their bodies to sustain life, so once they are not raised well it is very hard to keep them alive. Many people worry that the tadpoles will starve, so they feed the tadpoles every day, and once they feed them they want to fill them up in one go. This causes the tadpoles to eat too much and die from overeating. So when feeding, you must also stop at the right amount; feeding a tiny bit at a time is enough.

4. Tadpoles should be raised by grade

It is best to raise tadpoles by grade, to make feeding and management uniform. The food eaten by tadpoles at different growth stages also differs slightly. From egg yolk and so on gradually add plankton, then animal carcasses, and in the later stage you can appropriately add live bait feed
