How and What to Feed Tadpoles! Cooking With Chris!

[@5uperi0r]

I also like to feed them the yolk of a boiled eggs crumbled up it gives them nutrients and some protein :)

[@graythebunny5128]

Thxs

[@alliahmakulett7723]

Can I ask how to figure out if he/she eats it? Cuz I gave my tadpole boiled egg and not boiled yolk Idk if she eats it or what

[@craigandsnowwadam4511]

P.S. seriously,..I’m 65 yrs old ,..and I’m a new subscriber. Dude !!! I seriously NEVER thought to use a PIZZA 🍕 cutter on veggie!! ,..holy green beans!! Batman! …

[@performanceARTtexas]

I am very new to this and just picked up some tadpoles from the puddles in the street. i just wanted to know, do you thaw the the frozen lettuce or do you feed it to them frozen?

[@quicktymes7278]

The most dedicated you tuber ever

[@Personnamedhunter]

Chris, you are so cool. Ever since I have found you, I have watched all of you btd videos, and have loved all of your science videos, (especially the tadpole ones) , and I just wanted to let you know. Have a Super Delicious Day!!!! -hunter

[@LaJetts]

Great - I was looking for this!! & Kudos to Amanda on the pizza slicer!

[@LisaRent]

Probably more nutrition in the Swiss chard I give them or in spinach, if available. I also give some parrot kibble & dog kibble occasionally. They seem to like their choices.

[@TheKonga88]

Lisa I feed mine plastic dollies 😈😈

[@superhorses7738]

[@kevincameron174]

Thanks for this. I have started growing algea outside to put into my aquarium, and also using old spinach and other greens that my girlfriend does not want to eat. I found that more efficient than the pizza cutter is to freeze it first, then when it is frozen just use your hands or a hammer to mash up the freezer bag. When it is frozen it easily breaks into smaller pieces than even the pizza cutter can get it. Is there a reason you cook it first? I have not been cooking mine, and the tadpoles like it just fine. I also supplement with fish flakes (they are in the same tank as goldfish and neon tetras). The tadpoles seem to love the fish flakes too.

[@animallover6487]

The reason you boil it is because it makes it easier for them to chew :)

[@amyclemens_staff3711]

Animal Lover yes! By boiling and freezing the lettuce, the cell walls get weaker and weaker. This will be beneficial to their digestive system and the tadpoles will be able to eat quicker

[@kevincameron174]

@@amyclemens_staff3711 and Animal Lover. Thanks. The tadpoles have all graduated now and I have no idea where they went. I just see random frogs jumping around my house. Don't worry though, I have no screens and the doors are always open so the frogs are free to go out anytime they want, but usually I find some that have come into the house and the hang out near my desk light, or attached to the window with the bugs tend to hang out.

[@tawantinsuyoopinaii572]

I think lettuce is not a good nutrition zuchini and other vegetables!

[@hi6911]

Just put in thin slice of cucumber which they are devouring!!

[@pacomax123456789]

FRUITY PEBBLES HYPE!!!

[@vivian724]

THANK YOU!! I rescued my tadpoles from a water trough and they otherwise would have gotten sucked up by horses. I have NO idea what type of tadpole they are... How do I tell???

[@wasteman6069]

Wait till they're frogs

[@KandyKornerGurl]

No idea to tell unless you find the parents singing in the body of water.

[@hermanhale9258]

@@KandyKornerGurl I found the daddy frog sitting on the rim of the tub, but I still don't know for sure what they are. Something like a Gray's tree frog, but the sound they make is like a snore. No music.

[@oodilicious1]

A video about cleaning the tanks next week? :)

[@superscienced]

Oodie Mohar Hmmmmm. Idk. That can definitely get DIRTY :P

Chris, are you going to do a video of you setting the frogs free?

[@superscienced]

William Surtees Of course :)!

[@timothyji3055]

Awwwww the tadpoles free : O

[@shastabainbridge9247]

What did you put on the lettace for protine please let me know

[@rayneheaven978]

Something else, if you cant go to the pet store for tadpole food, bugs around the pond or stream you get them from will work just as well. Like i get mine from a river where i live and use the periwinkles that are in abundance

[@toughcookie6080]

Hey Chris, I remember you complaining about BTD5 not having a non-stop mode, but! they do have a non-stop mode. You can turn it on in the settings when you play the map. Hope I'm not spamming you! Have a nice day and stay awesome!

[@tomokofliearman9468]

Hi, Chris, Can I dehydrate them? Thanks.

[@craigandsnowwadam4511]

Dehydration if the tadpoles!! Seriously!!

[@eleahmaddison9152]

I have 4 tadpoles who are nearly frogs, I also have a full grown frog. Can frogs eat that 2?

[@andy-the-gardener]

id like to keep bullfrog tadpoles but they are illigal in the uk. my pond has many thousands of comon frog tadpoles atm. i expect they will eat everything in the pond, so may add some extra food later to give them a boost. when i was a kid, i always found they went crazy if you put some mince beef in. i dont thi k they are 100% vegetarian lol

[@Zamngaihching]

What are the greens that you're using

[@edpower9214]

Realy interesting vid man. But what time of the year should I start looking for them in the pond

[@itsjennieYT]

Around now, early spring there are not tadpoles but there are heaps of frogspawn where I am

[@chidkid1]

Hey Chris have you ever thought about being on a cooking show?

[@randymaylowski2485]

nice video of that :) thanks for showing us that:) and nice looking tadpoles:)

[@S_Fgolf]

Hi really helpful video, can I ask we collected a small bit of frog spawn to show my daughter how they grow. My question is how do you know when to start feeding them my frogspawn has started to turn to tadpoles and we have swimmers in the tank but we still have some that are spawn when should we start feeding??

[@roberthom1743]

Great job Chris! No dislikes!

[@alesmr7034]

Okay so I just drop the ice cube on the tank? Isn’t that too cold?

[@averysleepyghost8909]

Hello, great video, the problem is, my tadpoles arent eating the food, nor the fish food that works for tadpoles, their just kinda eating algae from a plant and a rock there, whjat should i do?

[@debigagermeier]

Could you just mircowave the lettuce? This is how I steam my own veggies to get them soft and this way you don't boil out so much nutrition. Just curious.

[@andreapazos8016]

Did you added water to the lettuce when you put it on the freezer or did you just put it like that to freeze?

[@amyclemens_staff3711]

Don’t add any more water

[@salsoteca72]

Chris, I just watched this channel and I'm a beginner at raising tadpoles( and I mean first time),I keep the big and small Togethor, do they eat eachother (it's weird but I'm just worried)

[@clumlsys9447]

You know its a quality home when theres fruity pebbles xD

[@mrbacon1231]

That cereal tho! Lol

[@juliasrednicka1205]

can it be just lettuic?

[@amyclemens_staff3711]

That is ok. Just know that by using the supplements, they will develop much quicker and have a healthier adult life.

[@millo921]

When you said: "I will show you , how to make tadpole food" i thiught , you are going to prepare your tadpoles for lunch

[@Haruka506]

What is the frog supplement called and where can you find it?

[@hermanhale9258]

I bought a blue can of frog and tadpole food at Petco. Pellets.

[@xxfrostbite69xx1]

I know this is old and you may or may not be doing things like this anymore but I have a filter in mine and I use something like a pool noodle to cover the pipe. Works great .

[@hermanhale9258]

Anybody know - what bugs do tadpoles eat in the wild? Blood worms? Mosquito larvae?

[@tomhanford9365]

awesome video chris!!

[@e.srunner6487]

Once you have the letus in your bagie were do you keep IT Just in your cabnits or do u still have to keep IT in your freezer.

[@mrVd0min0]

whoah. thought you were gonna cook the tadpoles for a second

[@abbricks6214]

What is the point of boiling the lettuce if you are just going to freeze it? Just wondering.

[@chanelleloathian8042]

hi i would just like to know what the tadpole food is called as i cant seem to find it and this is my first time having tadpoles and i really dont want them to die

[@brianab9218]

If we feed them tadpole food, how much am I supposed to put for them? PLEASE ANSWER I REALLY NEED TO KNOW

[@amyclemens_staff3711]

Normally, between 4-7 pellets depending on how big they are! Hope this helps.

[@ashleypool01]

[@raging_crocodile2081]

OK, I did exactly as he said but my tadpoles aren't eating the lettuce. I feed them other things like aquatic frog and tadpole food and they eat that, but they are completely ignoring the lettuce. The tadpoles are pacific treefrog and redlegged frog tadpoles, can someone please tell me what's going on.

[@wasteman6069]

They don't like lettuce so don't feed them lettuce

[@raging_crocodile2081]

Actually I got them to eat it, but they like spinich a lot more, plus it isn't as messy. I also didn't have to pick up after them because the snails ate the leftovers.

You cut it with a pizza slicer because it's pizza for tadpoles.

Does amanda have a channel? :D

[@DanoDude]

Other then lettuce what can you feed the tadpoles and they will still be healthy? Want them to try other flavors.

[@superscienced]

Daniel Valencia You can get algae from the pond, the green stuff floating on top. But it makes your aquarium dirty. You can also use tadpole food. Buy it from a pet store or amazon :). They don't need a mix of flavors. Just stay safe with the lettuce.

[@DanoDude]

Super Scienced thanks for the tip ;)

[@picklestrips3088]

you can go to the pet store and get them seaweed aka dry algae they love that stuff

[@charliebrennan1943]

Your clock said 21 minutes actually????????

[@ninjagaming6242]

When he starts to boil the water it's 6:46. When he takes it out it's 7:04. That's twenty minutes, not ten.

[@chidkid1]

[@ninjagaming6242]

chidkid1 look at his stove. The TIME is 6:46. He takes it out at 7:05. That is twenty minutes.

[@chidkid1]

Ninja Gaming Ohhh

like the video!! i know that the point of this video is positive *thats obious* as well as this comment, i really liked this video, but i googled about the BOILING detail, and it said...u CAN boil your lethuce or spinach BUT it may lose some nutrients, so just to let u know!! oh and a little tip, to REPLACE the losed nutrients caused by the boiling of the tadpole food, you can just buy HIGH cuality gold fish food, or any type of fish food, but it has to be HIGH cuality. thank u!!

They will starve to death if no food is available. Might cannibalize each other. It took around 1 week for my Swiss chard leaves to decompose enough in the water for the tadpoles to eat. But they did enjoy it! I cooked most of my chard, ground it in my Ninja, and froze in cube trays.
