Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

Copies of Tend the Pests will use the power of the creature sacrificed for the original spell to determine the number of Pests each copy creates. Because the copies aren't cast, you won't sacrifice additional creatures for them.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
