Question

What do tadpols eat in the wild?

Answer 1

They'll continue to eat algae, but they'll begin to nibble on plant stems and leaves, along with any dead insects they come upon. Bigger tadpoles can catch and eat live bugs. Some types of frogs, such as bullfrogs, can remain in the tadpole stage as long as two years and may get quite large before they begin to change.

Answer 2

In the wild most tadpoles will eat micro plants and algae. Some species are omnivores and eat organic debris from decomposed plants or animals. In captivity they can eat a wide variety of food. For example baby food, egg yolk, and lettuce.
