    Exclamation Tadpoles and hotdogs

    So, I just met someone who owns tadpoles. (They do not know what kind. They found them in a lake.) They say they feed them hotdogs. How concerned should I be about this? (I did tell them "egg yolks and lettuce" but they say they "really like hotdogs.")

    Good gracious! Pretty funny stuff!
    Seriously ........really high in nitrates, sodium nitrite = salt !
    Not to mention the fillers like flour or bread crumbs, seasonings and spices, binding agents, and curing agents!
    Humans should not even eat hot dogs !!!!
    Feeding them to a small bitty creature is even worse !!!

    Like you suggested to them Crystal, there are more appropriate choices.
