Tadpoles

Hard boiled eggs.

Was down in Laragh, Co Wicklow today and came across some very excited tadpoles.

You learn something new everyday. Well not everyday, some days you learn nothing.

I copied and pasted this piece below but most of it is true, I think.

Nutrient-Rich Tadpole Meals
Tadpoles must get their protein from sources other than meat, especially when they reach the stage where their back legs are beginning to form. One of the best ways to provide protein is through green, leafy vegetables. Boil vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, green peas or zucchini for about five minutes, or until the veggies are soft and easy to chew. Then, finely chop them and give small amounts to the tadpoles twice a day.
Hard-boiled egg yolks are another excellent and digestible source of nutrients for tadpoles. Crumble the yolk into small pieces and place it in the tadpole tank during feeding times.
Greens and egg yolks are delicious and nutritious tadpole meals, but you may find it time-consuming to prepare food for your growing group of amphibians. Fortunately, good options for store-bought tadpole foods are available at most local pet or fish stores. Pay attention to the labels when picking out the food. Many brands sell foods for both early- and late-stage tadpoles. The later stage varieties usually contain more protein to help the bigger tadpoles grow strong.
If you can’t find prepared tadpole food nearby, look for prepared baby food, which is designed to be easily digested and highly concentrated with nutrients. Look for the foods with the highest amount of calcium and protein.
Be careful not to overfeed the tadpoles. While they typically don’t overeat, too much food waste quickly dirties a tank.
With the right environment and diet, your tadpoles will transform from tiny tadpoles to strong, healthy frogs.
