These tadpoles are just barely hatched and the tadpole food looks bigger than they are. What is the best thing to feed them?

In the wild tadpoles eat algea, plant matter, food in the soil, give them the tadpole food (they will nible at it) and let algea grow in the tank, and give them some thin plants like grass blades

I want to help you but I don't know the answer. I am jealous though. I ordered tadpoles in the mail last year and by the time they got to my house they were dead. I was so sad. I am happy that you get to have tadpoles that are living :) Good Luck with them and enjoy them!! I LOVE FROGS

Algae is their natural food. You can also use a leaf of lettuce (it should be a leafy lettuce, not iceberg, or head lettuce) that's been boiled a few minutes or frozen to break down the cell wall. Don't use spinach. Some fish pellets also have a high amount of algae.

nothing. tadpoles don't really eat. their tails contain nutrition for them, and as they grow, they digest their tails.. if you want, algee is a good food for when they develope mouths

tadpoles are amphibians, not reptiles!
