Feeding tadpoles @PondHubwithTim#pond #amphibian #frog #nature #wildlife #wildlifeponds #tadpole

This week I am doing another video for my 'frog farm' playlist showing how I am incubating some of the frogspawn from the pondhub ponds. This video shows what to feed tadpoles. To help create more pondhub videos Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/pondhubwithtim About me Since I was 9 years old I have been fascinated by wildlife ponds with a special love for amphibians. Now I make videos showing how I make and maintain wildlife ponds in my garden. I am keen to promote the idea of people using their gardens to create habitats to support species that are struggling and under pressure. These creatures are intriguing and beautiful and their populations have been devastated in the UK. I am proud to have a protected species of newt breeding in my garden alongside frogs and toads. Supporting me enables me to preserve and add to the network of ponds I maintain and help share the joy, interest and ecological benefit of a well managed pond Questions ansered in this video What should I feed tadpoles? Tadpoles start as plant eaters and they like thinky sliced cucumber. As the body starts to change they need meat. Finely chopped liver is a good source of nutrients for tadpoles. Why do I need to give tadpoles meat? Tadpoles need protein as they start to change into frogs. If they can't find it they will become cannibals and start to eat each other.
