What do frogs eat? What's the best food to feed your pet frog?

Without an image, it is difficult to determine the species. You can upload a picture to the pet profile. Most small frogs are insectivores. You can offer appropriately sized crickets, mosquito larvae or fruit fly larvae.

Releasing it would not be recommended and in some locations, may be illegal. You can continue to feed nightcrawlers in addition to commercial frog pellets, brine shrimp, blood worms and small insect prey (nothing wild caught). Frogs are very sensitive to water quality and environmental parameters. Low temps can affect activity and appetite in amphibians and reptiles as can poor water quality. If you can provide the species of frog or an image, we can provide more comprehensive advice.

Green Tree Frogs feed exclusively on insects. You can feed mostly crickets which should be gut-loaded (fed a high-protein, nutritious meal before being offered to the frog) and dusted with a calcium and multivitamin supplement a couple of times a week. Flies, grass hoppers, etc. make good food also.

Thanks for reaching out about your Pacman frog. A wide variety of insects is best, and they should be gut loaded to provide additional nutrition. The type of fish more depends on the size of the fish and frog. Minnows or guppies should be fine for most smaller frogs. Good luck.

Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles and amphibians. Be sure you are offering appropriately sized prey as well. Nothing bigger than the space between the eyes. I would suggest you correct the type of pet you have in the information section. I don't think you have a tadpole if he hangs out with you on the desk. Knowing the species allows us to provide more accurate advice.

Feed less and less often. Consider skipping a day or two between feedings. Offer appropriately sized prey (crickets,earthworms, waxworms, etc). Generally, you don't want to feed anything bigger than the width of their heads. Maintain water quality via filtration and/or water changes. Amphibians are very sensitive to poor water quality and can get sick quickly.

Feeder fish can be added to the diet, however you must consider the source. Typically these fish are kept in a tank with hundreds of other fish. This predisposes them to infection and parasites which could be transmitted to your frog. As an occasional treat, they are fine. Stick with responsibly raised insects and nightcrawlers. Another treat to be given occasionally would be a pinkie (baby mouse).
