Re: Tadpoles

If you do a forum search for tadpoles as food, you'll find previous discussions of this topic. The basic answer is yes it's probably OK, but with some risks to consider. Among live food choices, fellow-amphibians are the most likely to carry a disease that would affect a sal.

Re: Tadpoles

My problem with wild caught tadpoles for food is that with already dwindling populations, why would you take the lives of many more when you could simply use a worm? Easier to catch and probably easier to digest since it has no bones.
