During the first six weeks of their lives, tadpoles are herbivorous, thriving on algae found in their natural pond environments. However, after this period, they transition to a carnivorous diet, consuming insect larvae, small insects, worms, and even other tadpoles. Unfortunately, this is also when many tadpoles face high mortality rates in the wild.

Ideal for Exotic Frog Tadpoles: Suitable for captive-bred exotic frog tadpoles, including tree frogs and dart frogs. High Protein Content: Formulated with a high protein level to support growth and health. 1mm Sinking Micro Pellets: The small, sinking pellets are easy for tadpoles to consume and contain insect meal instead of fish meal, providing a more natural protein source for optimal nutrition. Ensure your tadpoles thrive during their crucial growth stages with Pro-f Tadpole Food!
