Plants are safe for tadpoles to eat and are one of their favorite foods. Tadpoles also like to eat algae which can be found growing on plants.
Animals that eat tadpoles include fish, frogs, newts, salamanders, turtles, water birds, and dragonfly nymphs. These animals prey on tadpoles as part of their natural diet in various aquatic ecosystems.
Tadpoles are helpful to the ecosystem as they graze on algae, helping to control its growth and maintain water quality. Additionally, tadpoles serve as an important food source for predators higher up in the food chain, contributing to overall biodiversity and ecosystem health. Finally, as tadpoles grow into frogs, they further contribute to the ecosystem by consuming insects and serving as both predator and prey in the food web.
Eating unknown plants, even temptingly looking ones, could easily lead to sickness or even death. Only eat plants that you recognise as being edible. If you are not sure, look up the plant in a book on wild edible plants - don't just take a risk!
Organisms that eat plants are called herbivores.
Interesting question. Plants don't really "eat". Plants produce sugars from photosynthesis, even plants that seem to "eat" insects are not trapping insects for energy, but for other nutrients such as nitrogen. With this being said, when a plant dies and its nutrients return to the soil, those ions and molecules are absorbed by the root systems of the plants in the immediate area. So in the traditional sense, Plants do not eat other plants, but they are able to derive some of their required molecules from their fallen brothers.
Tadpoles eat plants.
Tadpoles eat microscopic aquatic "plants" called phytoplankton.
No tadpoles are not carnivorous as they eat plants. Large frogs are generally considered carnivorous.
Toads do not eat plants. They eat other insects. When they are tadpoles they eat plants but switch when they are no longer tadpoles.
yes, and they eat algae and plants.
Well you see MOST Tadpoles are vegetarians!! So species have been proven to be carniviose. I have a pond in my yard and there are tadpoles in thier that i tape and it shows some eating plants and others eating plankton and such.
crayfish eat tadpoles,snails,small fish, and insects.crayfish also eat plants and waterweeds
I really would not put the tadpoles in with the goldfish...the goldfish will most likely eat them all. It depends on the goldfish size, but eventually they will try to eat the tadpoles whether they suceed or not. :/
they eat hide, and play in them. Its like there home
They get energy from the food they eat
Only the tadpoles will eat vegetation. Once a toad they are exclusively carnivore
In their natural state, tadpoles live on pond vegetation, especially tiny algae and plants. Tadpoles in captivity benefit from boiled lettuce which has been cooled down.
