when tadpoles first climb on land there mouths are not yet fully developed. so, in order to stay nourished there body consumes its tail, once there tail is fully gone they should be willing to eat.

ok thanks they have been on land now for about 2-4 days now and still have not been eating but have their tails a bit. i have a few crickets in the tank for now till they get hungry. i have them in a 5 gallon tall tank with a few rocks and bamboo with moist paper towl bottem because they are too small for the ten gallon im afraid they will get lost. is that ok till they are bigger?
