My wildlife pond is absolutely teeming with tadpoles.
The size of the pond means that there can't be much food to sustain that many. Pity they don't eat the duckweed.
i just wondered if there is anything that I could add to the pond to supplement whatever natural food is there.

I found this on internet.
Romaine lettuce leaf finely chopped and just use a pinch or so at a time.
Also which I have already done is a few fishflakes which we already had so will have to wait and see.
There are a few other things suggested but I'm not going to the pond shop.

Would've thought that the tadpoles would be turning into little froglets and leaving the pond by now but there are still loads of the little wrigglers.
