Some of the more common things frogs eat include: crickets, waxworms, mealworms and bloodworms. Frogs will not eat an insect larger than they are. If you cannot find any bug in the store small enough for your pet to eat, here are some suggestions:
- Look in your backyard for aphids and other small insects. Do a small amount of research to make sure the insect you found isn't poisonous to your frog.
- Either trap or purchase fruit flies to feed your frog.
How much should my frog eat?How much your frog eats really depends on how hungry he is. When you bring your frog home, he will not want to eat for 1-2 days. Start with one worm, and if the frog eats the worm without a struggle, feed him two worms the next day and so on. However, do not allow your frog to eat any longer than 5 minutes. DO NOT overfeed your frog.
Why won't my frog eat?Usually frogs only eat food if it is alive and moving, but some species eat dead insects. If you are positive your frog will not eat his food, he is probably indicating a side-effect of an illness (check my Frog Health and Diseases article for more information about frog illnesses). Leave the food in your frog's habitat and check on your frog later. If the food is still in the terrarium, check to make sure the tank is clean. Frogs usually won't eat in a dirty environment.
This blog is amazing!!!!!! Thank you for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
