General Care Discussion :: Tadpoles...

[tbs00152]

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was okay to put tadpoles with my res?? I know once the tadpoles grow i have to move them to another set up. i was wondering if they will be okay together? thanks

they will get devoured indefinitely, even before growing. they wont last one week in there.

ok so even with baby res they will be eaten?

[Starchick]

Most likely, baby turtles eat a lot more protein than adults and will probably see your tadpoles as a treat. Given the soft bodies of tadpoles, even if they're large enough the turts can't eat them, they probably will get chewed up.

They will certainly be gobbled up by your little green predators. They may look cute and harmless, but I saw one of my babies at less than an inch long, swallow a Rosie that looked bigger than him whole. They also managed to eat marble sized snails shell and all. I don't think a tadpole would stand a chance for long..
