Frog nut at your service.
Tadpoles like lettuce, but they are really intended to eat algae and they will take a lot better to lettuce if you freeze it and then defrost it by pouring boiling water over it. Cool to room temperature and put in with them. Fish food is also good for them to eat, formation of bones and muscles requires some protein, but live foods are better. You can also use boiled spinach, but never cabbage. Never use pre-packaged dried or frozen vegetables, the preservatives use (even if they claim to use none, many come into contact with copper sulphide) are fatal to most tadpoles.
The tads will need a stick or rock above the surface of the water so that when they are ready they can climb out.
