What?? No?
She's feeding the tadpoles goldfish crackers... she isn't eating anything?
She has a handful of crackers and there's one in the jar. She's caring for them (if in a way that's a bit misguided). I wouldn't draw animal abuse.

Ooooof apologies! My brain somehow inserted a word and didn't realize :)
Now this lil tyke has gotten me curious, what DO tadpoles eat? I'd think algae but I dunno
Looked it up and you're mostly right! Apparently they eat their egg, then start eating stuff like moss and algae. As they grow up, they start to become a bit more carnivorous, also eating insects and their larvae.
Yup! Much like frogs they'll eat whatever can fit in their mouths haha. Which limits them a lot when they're super tiny but after that mosquito larvae are a favorite!
I actually used to do this as a kid which is why I drew it :) (Catch tadpoles and keep them as pets for a while, we fed them fish food mostly!)
After the time they all turned into frogs in the kitchen my mom had me keep them outside lmao.
