Animals that eat tadpoles in a marsh include birds like herons and kingfishers, as well as fish such as catfish and bass. Predatory insects like dragonfly larvae and water beetles are also known to prey on tadpoles in marsh ecosystems.
Tadpoles are herbivores and primarily feed on algae and plant matter. Offering them ham, a meat product, may not be suitable for their diet and could potentially harm them. It is best to provide tadpoles with appropriate food like algae wafers or green vegetables.
short and simple they are herbivores mostly eat algae
No, dragonfly larvae are carnivorous. They feed on small aquatic invertebrates such as mosquito larvae, small fish, and tadpoles.
If your tadpoles aren't eating, consider trying different types of food such as boiled vegetables, commercial tadpole food, or algae pellets. Make sure the water temperature is appropriate for the tadpoles' development and that the water quality is clean and suitable for their health. If the issue persists, consult a veterinarian or an expert in amphibian care for further advice.
