I threw out a handfull of cheerios into the wading pool and man, the
tads love them. I will be boiling some lettuce or something i guess
(probably not organic tho) since there isnt enough algea in the
kiddie pool yet to feed them. The ones in the pond are cleaning the
sides well for me. The snails keep my pots clean....good system

Well, turns out that I was not boiling the lettuce
enough. What is lightly boiling anyway? (I took one
quarter of home ec then our school burned down...)

I boiled the lettuce until it was translucent and the
tadpoles are chowing down!
DH thinks full strength herbicide/pesticide lettuce
would be fine but I told him we are talking to people
who feed their fish shrimp and sliced oranges! They
will understand organic lettuce.

Going to the duck pond today to feed the fuzzy
baby geese.
