Topic: Indoor taddies, other questions
i get thousands of tadpoles every year.  i usually remove most of the spawn and put into loads of buckets/bowls with rain water. when the taddies are hatched and move to the surface i remove them and put them back in the pond, this saves the jelly making the pond go smelly.  this keeps the newts happy  but not the frogs  so i also keep several tanks with taddies and bring them indoors where i feed them mainly on fishfood flakes. the water temp makes them grow faster. when too big to be eaten by the newts i put them back in the pond. this really gives them a flying start. mind you i do still get quite a few with lumps taken off the end of their tails by the newts  dont know if this has any serious long term effects. does anyone know |
