I have a hundred or so (probably more) tadpoles living in buckets at the moment, and the smaller ones (which hatched at the same time as their larger siblings) seem to have gone off their food lately. They won't eat lettuce, binka or hibiscus flowers, which the larger ones goble up no problems. I'm not sure what sort of tadpoles they are, most likely green tree, desert/red tree or marbled frogs (those are the ones I know of that live around the house anyway).

Their water is fairly dirty at the moment, it hasn't rained enough lately, though I have one in a glass of filtered tap water to see how it goes.

Is there any reason the smaller ones aren't eating like their larger siblings? The larger ones are about twice the size of the smaller ones.
