Question 1

What Do Wild Frogs Eat?

Accepted Answer

Frogs are mostly carnivorous, eating the insects that are readily available to them. Some species with a long sticky tongue and sticky saliva can catch flying insects and catch prey that passes them. The size of the frog determines the size of its prey. Small frogs will stick to a diet of small insects. This usually consists of various species of crickets, worms, flies, springtails, grasshoppers, moths, and spiders.

Question 2

What Do Captive Frogs Eat?

Accepted Answer

When in captivity, a frog's diet will necessarily be quite a bit different than it is in the wild. We simply can't easily obtain a large variety of live insects. We're limited to what's available at local pet stores and what we can attract and cultivate on our own. Avoid feeding frogs wild insects or wild-caught insects as they can pose a serious risk of pesticide exposure and put your frog health in danger.

Question 4

How Much Do Frogs Eat?

Accepted Answer

The amount of food a frog eats depends on its size and age. An adult bullfrog will eat much more than a baby tree frog. Adult frogs' schedules will also be different from baby frogs.

Question 5

How Do I Feed My Frog?

Accepted Answer

To feed your frog, place a couple of insects, preferably gut-loaded, into a small container with a bit of supplement powder. Dust the insects, and then open the container and dump them directly into your frog's enclosure. Diurnal frogs might eat the insects right away, while nocturnal frogs will wait until night. Some frog owners use feeding tongs, but they're not necessary. They're mostly used for large, diurnal frog species that will readily eat insects as soon as you give it to them.

Question 6

Do Frogs Drink?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not orally, as we do. Frogs absorb water through their skin in their natural habitat. Make sure there is plenty of water in their habitat.
