Good news .. full article link below.
"The tadpoles first develop in the egg, then they eat the egg case. After this they often seem to disappear - this is because they are so small you don't see them in your big pond. But after a while you will see them swimming around; often you will see them in the warm areas around the edge. They at first eat algae, then they progess on to other plants and then sometimes on to meat - such as worms and daphnia. They will even eat each other!"
