Frog Foods 

If you’re a pet parent to a fun, leaping amphibian, you want to ensure your frog gets the best nutrition available. It’s essential to keep their habitat as close to living in the wild as possible, and that includes frog food—giving your pet a variety can help achieve that.  


FAQs About Frog Food 

Now you know the different types of food for frogs—but what about the babies? Young tadpoles typically do best on a variety of leafy greens until they get old enough to add insects to their diet. You can feed them thoroughly washed and frozen greens like the ones below. 

  • Baby spinach 
  • Algae 
  • Green lettuce 
  • Zucchini 
  • Green grapes 
  • Spirulina 
  • The occasional blood worms 

Fish flakes should be avoided, but there is pre-packaged amphibian food for tadpoles that contains vitamins, minerals and fishmeal.   

Once they are born, a tadpole’s sole focus is to find nutrients and fuel to have enough strength and energy to turn into a frog. This means they cannot live for very long without tadpole food.  

It’s best to feed them small amounts throughout the day so they eat it all before their next feeding—putting in large quantities so you can feed them less often will cloud the water and could make the pH unbalanced.  

Your fully grown pet may be able to live without frog food for weeks on end—sometimes even up to a month—but that’s not something you want to test. Before becoming a frog parent, research the species thoroughly and find their optimal meal frequency.
