Parents are being urged to stop feeding their children tadpoles after a video went viral which showed a boy eating the wriggling creatures.
The clip, filmed in China, has had more than 3 million views and shows a toddler being spoon fed the animals.
Footage shows the child's mum holding a white bowl full of water with about seven of the creatures swimming around it.
She gets one in a spoon and holds it to her child's mouth who opens it none the wiser and eats the live tadpole.
